    “There is anger that the Tories spent £125,000 on the Ealing campaign”

    I hope the electoral commission have been reading their copy of the Telegraph today and will be asking the Tory agent why he broke the exspenses limit by a mere 25%. This and their publishing of stats allegedly from the postal vote count. We know that they ‘borrow’ our campaign manuals but clearly they haven’t read ALDCs Election Law Handbook.
