Bit more on those investigations into the Brexit campaigners.

Britain’s electoral authorities have reopened an investigation into whether Vote Leave, the official pro-Brexit campaign, exceeded the £7m limit on campaign spending ahead of the EU referendum.
The investigation centres on the decision by Vote Leave, fronted by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, to give £625,000 in online advertising to Darren Grimes, a 22-year old with little political experience in the ten days before the vote.
Diverting the advertising via Mr Grimes would have allowed Vote Leave to skirt the legal limit on spending during the official campaign period, and could have constituted a legal offence if there was undisclosed co-ordination between the parties.
Mr Grimes, who was a fashion student at the time, also received £50,000 from individual donor Anthony Clarke, who is not a subject of the commission’s investigation.

The Commission’s decision to reopen the investigation comes after the Good Law Project, set up by barrister Jo Maugham, threatened to bring legal action. Mr Maugham said it was “extraordinary” that it had taken the Commission so long to look at the issue.
The Commission is also investigating Veterans for Britain, a pro-Brexit campaign group that received £100,000 from Vote Leave three days before the referendum.
