BREAKING: it’s now official. Vote Leave campaign broke the law & is reported to the police. BIG BIG news. This is the official campaign. And it’s a massive overspend of a scale not seen in Modern British politics
Look at this! It’s not @matthew_elliott who’s referred to the police, it’s his stooges including @darrengrimes_ who was a student at the time. Note ‘other related offences’ may have been committed & files passed to the police. FINALLY!
NOTE: @BorisJohnson may have strategically jumped ship but other leader of the campaign @michaelgove still a minister. And it was @theresa_may’s political secretary who oversaw this overspending scheme. The govt is up to its neck in this & MUST be held to account
TOTAL vindication for @shahmiruk who had the guts to come forward & blow the whistle. He thought @darrengrimes_ was being used & scapegoated. And so it turns out theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
What’s truly shocking. ERG members at the heart of this. Multiple members held official Vote Leave roles including Gove, Patel & ex-chair @SteveBakerHW who came up with the plan. And May knew this report coming out today! dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3…
The ‘other related offences’ are very serious potential criminal offences including deleting evidence & obstructing the course of justice. A potential prison sentence.
Also remember: Vote Leave took taxpayers’ money. It’s a fraud on us, the British people. And this is an overspend of 10% of the entire campaign budget. Gavin Millar QC described it as of ‘a scale & seriousness’ not seen in modern times
