...the Electoral Commission has referred the controversy over donations to Peter Hain’s deputy leadership campaign to the police.
It says in a statement just released:
“On 29 November 2007, Peter Hain MP informed the Electoral Commission that he had not fully reported to the Commission donations he had received for his Labour Party deputy leadership campaign.
“Mr Hain has since met with the Commission and provided additional information about donations he received. The Electoral Commission has undertaken a thorough review of this information.
“Following discussions with the Metropolitan Police Service and the Crown Prosecution Service, the Electoral Commission has now referred matters to the Metropolitan Police for them to consider whether an investigation should commence.”
There's only one thing for it: get Don Touhig on the airwaves to explain how the whole thing is a huge media fuss over nothing.
