What type of money goes into election campaigns! The elections watchdog has ruled that the Liberal Democrats can keep £2.4m in donations which it had been suggested came from a fraudster. Michael Brown was convicted of stealing £30m from clients, his trial heard he had channelled money through his firm, 5th Avenue Partners, to the Lib Dems.
But the Electoral Commission said there was no "reasonable basis" to conclude he had personally donated the money.

The money was donated to the Lib Dems - the UK's third largest political party - by 5th Avenue Partners Ltd in 2005, ahead of its general election campaign.
