The Electoral Commission has been accused of double standards when it comes to investigate alleged election misdemeanours by Leavers when compared to those by remainders.

Conservative MP, Priti Patel, has accused the Electoral Commission of bias and double standards by investigating Vote Leave when there is little or no evidence, but not following up on allegations against the pro-remain group Britain Stronger in Europe when there is clear and documented evidence reports the political commentator Guid Fawkes.

In a letter to the Electoral Commission, the MP for Witham writes:

"....despite the fact that there is no evidence of Vote Leave Limited or Mr Grimes engaging in joint planning (even of an advisory nature) – you have been persuaded of the need for a full investigation.

"However, when clear documented evidence of the Remain campaigns coordinating specific messaging is presented to you, this is dismissed as ‘advisory’. This would appear to be a clear case of double standards."

Other topics concern The City, Facebook, the EEZ, Priti Patel, Vivienne Stern and the EU Withdrawal Bill.
