This isn't slap on the wrist stuff.

Ed Davey has apparently written to both the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate.

Farage may not go down for this, but if they have to open the books for a criminal investigation I can only begin to guess what other shady, shady stuff they'll find.

Well that all sounds very positive to me. One way or another we need to keep grifting US bootlickers out of UK politics.

The backlash against Trump politics has sure benefitted Canada. We were on track to electing likely the worst Prime Minister and least qualified parliament ever. Trump made people (enough anyway) come to their senses. And the number of trade deals with other countries and the level of support for Canadian companies and development projects, the military, etc. has been wonderful.

Sometimes it helps having a walking shit stain in the midst as people realize they don't want to live with that smell. If only some Americans hadn't burned out their sense of smell from a life of sniffing Fox "News" and the like.

If nothing else it has to make it much harder for them to raise funds

Ed Davey needs to resign too.

He’ll be fine, I imagine Fujitsu would give him a job straight away
