Before Christmas the Tories took Mark Reckless to court in a sour grapes attempt to claw back thousands of pounds spent on campaign literature before he defected to UKIP. Today, the judge has thrown the case out. A doubly expensive defeat…

UPDATE:

am told @Conservatives in rochetser & strood also have to pay £1850 costs after their claim against @MarkReckless was thrown out
