Yesterday evening we noted that the Electoral Commission was set to investigate Ken Livingstone for potentially breaching reporting requirements. We have now seen a press statement from Greg Hands MP that alleges that Ken Livingstone has been systematically evading the donations law for seven years.
Mr Hands notes that Mr Livingstone has failed to make a single donation report even though he is a "regulated donee" with a requirement to report all donations of £1,000 and more.
The Times has a big report this morning.
NOT A PEEP on the BBC on this but of course two positive Ken stories (Greens supporting Ken & Ken launches his campaign)
But nothing on electoral commission investigating Livingstone.
It makes a mockery of their supposed balanced coverage.

Even on the Daily Politics today on BBC 2 their visual quiz question on guess the year contained a nice snippet of a beaming Ken as he campaigned for London Mayor

I have said this before. Have you all forgotten the art auction. The top bid on one picture was made by an anonymous person. All anon donations are forbidden !
