Do you think we should abolish ‘politically restricted’ posts and allow public officials to become openly active in support of political parties if they want to?

You couldn’t make it up!
Is this the curse of the electoral register change again? If you get donations by standing order you need to re-register the donation each year showing the new electoral register number… otherwise the donation is forfait for that year even though the donor is actually on the register. Some LibDem local party somewhere will be caught out this year unless we have an unprecedentedly efficient set of treasurers returns.
so what were the details, where did the £7000 come from that was illegal

I wonder if this gets through comment moderation? (-:
