Peter Hain has been found guilty of “serious and substantial” failures for failing to register donations to his Labour Deputy Leadership campaign. More here.

Jack Straw has been found guilty of a “clear, albeit inadvertent, breach” of the rules for failing to register a donation. More here.

And the Electoral Commission has won the right to appeal over a decision that UKIP only had to forfeit a small portion of the illegal donations it had received. More here.

    UKIP didn’t deserve to be let off with only paying back 10% of their crooked donation.

    Speaking of which, the Lib Dems might need to pay a substantial sum back pretty soon as well – anyone got an update?
