Exclusive: Commission Order LibDem Expenses Review
The Electoral Commission have found some irregulatrities between what Chris Huhne declared in his election expenses as “national spending” and what the national Liberal Democrats actually declared. The bad news is for Cowley Street as there is clearly some serious concern over at the Electoral Commission that this practice goes beyond Huhne’s tight marginal constituency:
“The Commission have written to the Liberal Democrat national party asking them to review their procedures and report back to the Commission measures they will implement to avoid a repeat of this in future.”
Which begs the question, how many more LibDem associations do the Electoral Commission suspect are up to these tricks?
UPDATE:
Clegg + Cam, I'm told, have agreed details of mini-Lib Dem reshuffle in case Chris Huhne suddenly has to quit over the police points inquiry—

Discuss.
Is it Christmas?
Haven’t they investigated him once already and cleared him?
So another institution either incompetent or corrupt.
I believe this institution can be both incompetent and corrupt simultaneously.
But you are forgetting that he had two women to keep and that does not come cheap.
They don’t call him the ugly woman’s dildo for nothing.
So that’s the attraction. Well I never…
This would be a double dip depression?
That is not ‘begging the question’ Guido.
it sure is billy – so may shits that need to be exposed and so little time
Well well well the Tory Led coalition been fiddling their books. We will do interviews with PM David Cameron and Chancellor Osborne and get to the bottom of this.
What the beebs most likely to do is spend days interviewing bullyballs, the shrill yvette and any other leftie who wants to jump onto the bandwagon walking about the corrupt coalition.
Well I suppose he keeps the wolf from their door.
I thought Crick the Prick was fucking off to Ch4 news, or is he merely working off his AlJaBeeba notice?
And just think what a sucssesful job the lib dem pr machine and Nick Clegg did before the election.
“a new politics”
Politicon=corupt/thieves
Politics: poli – many
tics – small blood sucking pests
And he seemed such a nice man too..
A light rap over the knuckles, then, and told not be naughty again.
The Commission might like to check out the chintz shit’s expenses in Richmond with a careful look at her connections with the shady sheik
and again and again . . . . . .
I expect the answer is ‘all of them’.
Somehow, yellow seems a most appropriate colour for the party!
Oi Dave! When the boundary review is complete in a couple of months, say the Fib Dems are to bent to work with and call an election.
Ssshhhhh! Don’t tell everyone the plan.
What about my pal Dennis McShame?
“It was within the rules”
“Everyone was doing it”
“The fees office ok`d it”
Which one of the lines will spouted first?
“The expenses were incurred by my wife.”
So, if HMRC decide to question my last few tax returns, do you think I can claim it’s ok because …
“It was within the rules”
“Everyone was doing it”
“My accountant ok’d it”
Sounds like you are making a case for MPs to be treated the same as the proles.
I’m innocent. It was my wife wot did it!
The printing was done by a local firm and then they invoiced a larger amount because..erm..Jim Devine said it was OK?
Stand by the shredders – might be a long night.
He pointedly pointed out that his points were pointed at by the pointer, while there was no point in doing so, because his points did not warrant any pointed pointing by any pointer with pointed knowledge about points that could stand pointed scrutiny from a pointer with pointed experience in pointed pointing at points.
And your point is?
I can’t see the point, myself.
I thought punctuation was your strong point. Almost as good as your encouragement to hack.
Didn’t some of the local worthies have concerns about Handycocks’ expenses ? Or was it just using a lock up garage as his address ?
Where’s Lembit?
I would have thought he’d be lurking in the wings waiting for the passing bandwagon.
Re the Crick tweet. Why is Cameron not taking charge and sacking Huhne anyway?
Who’s PM?

I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.
” The Road to Wigan PIER “
“Which begs the question,”
No it doesn’t.
It may raise the question, though that raising may be begging another.
Strange
A Quote fro George Orwell is awaiting moderation. Is this a first for him?

R*ce is modded.
It’s all Diane Fatbuts fault Billy. She’s such a narky cow
Are you telling Guido to shove it up his Memory Hole?
Can everybody please add Amy Winehouse’s Blackberry Messenger Pin : 0V3RD053
0?235+2, would have been more accurate……….
Surely some mistake here………. Lib Dems honesty in power, sounds like New Labour and it’s ‘ethical foreign policy’ ..
As ethical foreign policies go, it was a belter, wasn’t it?
100,000 dead working-class men, women and children.
You are correct, a tad worse than anything the Lib Dems will do !
Still, we’re all alright. And that’s all that matters.
Sounds like a real doctor speaking…
Oh fucking great, which self regarding, slimy, spineless, mendacious, backstabbing, possibly shit-stabbing, self serving, pious Lib Dem cu’nt are the Tories going to have to welcome into Government now?
Are there any left?
You have a point here. A kind of Cameron ‘war of attrition’ against the LibDums. One by one, their senior members are exposed as utterly inept, mendacious filth. One by one, they go.
Expose the Libdums for what they are, then change the electoral boundaries, then hold a general election against a penniless and policy-less Milimong.
I like the cut of your jib!
Hello?
About the only one, just a little tainted methinks !
You can fuck off an all son
Lord Pantsdown
He does have previous for extra marital affairs and sleazy sexploits….. but who can abide the man??
That must be a description of Dame Simon Huge, surely ?
is he?
You talking to me?
What exactly are you infamous for??
PLEASE don’t ask……
Me I hope, I deserve a cabinet position. I am praying at the moment that the Electoral Commission don’t look into my electoral expenses, and donations the LibDems have received in Portsmouth, or I am done for.

Don’t worry Mike. we have protected you about this before and will if it comes up again.
I had to sew my blazer badge on using the needle I had fashioned out of a leftover pork bone from Sunday Lunch
Has David Laws done enough time on the backbenches to bring him back when Huhne goes? From a cast of one, he appears to be the only sensible Lib Dum. Bit of a twat for the rent to his missus number, though.
‘Royal wedding blamed for slow growth’
That seems a little unfair.
Those pictures of Pippa Middleton’s arse were responsible for some of the quickest growth ever recorded.
Certainly there was a little spurt in our house.
The Lib Dems spent massive amounts of money in Walthamstow at the last election. They didn’t win, but an investigation into the activities of their election agent would be well worth the trouble.
Tease
Some time Huhne…
Dum de dum de dum de dum.
Dum de dum de dum dum.
As my old granny used to say, “The Lib/LabCons, an everyday story of count..erm…total shite”.
It all started in…………
1945 When the proles voted Churchill out and Atlee in.
They voted him out because they thought he deserved a rest. In 1950, they couldn’t wait to get him back again.
What’s the point of being Liberal, if you can’t be liberal with the truth?
- like climate channge .. .. .. and tax-payers money.
PS I see you like to spread your points around don’t ya?
Thank god for that!
Its been a really slow news day. The hacking story seems to have died, and our usual backstop stories about racism seem a little thin on the ground at the moment. Just as we were panicking about the 6 O’clock along come the Tories partners to save the day.
No, no, . . . wait . . . wait for it . . . a global warming story
YUp. Coldest Australian Winter Since 1950 due to Global Warming. It’s worse than we thought, says Labor PM Julia Thingy.
Things were so much easier when I had that job as the Parliamentry cat.
Come and go as I pleased,free meals,Paxman tickling my tum occassionaly.
Where did it all go wrong?
The coalition could end up borrowing more than Labour | Left Foot Forward

If the economy continues to stagnate, the coalition could borrow more than Labour this year, writes Guido Fawkes
Shit! I have just spat a mouthful of expensive red wine all over my table and keyboard – having merely read your nom de plume. Brilliant if I may say so.
There’s nothing like another inquiry to keep things rolling – funny how it’s months or years before any outcomes are known by which time everything has changed and it’s no longer relevant or necessary to do anything. Typical cor-rupt
behaviour allround – AGAIN – AT OUR EXPENSE
Did Piers Morgan sanction the hacking of Paul Mardsen MP phone in 2003?
Its not funny for the people of Eastleigh, Huhnes agent loaned interest free a large amount of money which was not repaid by the cut off date, it still has not been repaid.
the Electoral Commission need to do a through and robust investigation in to huhne election expenses for both General Elections.
3 people signed the General Election returns and this will show fully what has happened, The evidence should be passed to the Police and those involved should be questioned under oath.
thats what the people of eastleigh demand
Marvellous innit? I mean they’re all a loada Delboys, know wharraimean!

The BBC’s leading story for the main news!!
militwit has had a successful operation on his nose and still sounds exactly the same!!
I really miss the News Of The World. At least it investigated things, whereas the BBC just trots out the daily shopping list from Labour HQ.
I would say his own personal climate is getting rather hot (though draughty)
ASW must be his fault then
Much ‘puzzlement’ in my neck of the woods over official Lib Dem send on General election.
To get back to the question… When “Buff” Huhne has to go, I have it on good authority that the next Energy Secretary will be either Michael Moore or Ed Davey. Watch this space…
Does that include employing your wife for sitting on her arse doing nothing all day and claiming council allowances on top provided you rent out a lock up?
You were too modest. It turns out Huhne underdeclared OVER TEN QUID. This is undoubtedly the Gobshite Centre’s greatest ever triumph.
Incidentally, in what sense is a story copied from a pres release an “exclusive”?
