Another tape has surfaced that could hang Huhne. Two former LibDem councillors from his Eastleigh constituency have recorded Huhne’s agent apparently admitting they overspent above the legal election limits at the last election by £10,000. The Sunlight Centre was working on Huhne’s election expenses last summer, but hit a brick wall when Huhne, and his agent, refused to cooperate with any investigation. Last July Guido wrote:

The material produced, however, was in reality printed by Park Communications Limited. Park is an interesting organisation that is very, very close to the Liberal Democrats – their chief exec hosts events with the head of the LibDem campaigns department.
