the former vote leave volunteer shahmir sanni says his lawyers will produce more evidence tomorrow to but it is certainly the case that the referendum watchdog, the electoral commission, is already investigating. and some opposition politicians here at westminster say that their powers are stuck in the analogue age and are inadequate to deal with the challenges of the digital world. what i think it's to happen is, theresa may needs to make sure the electoral commission has the resources to fully investigate the resources to fully investigate the allegations made that there was collusion, criminal collusion, because let's remember, the people that led these campaigns are now senior cabinet members. that led these campaigns are now senior cabinet memberslj that led these campaigns are now senior cabinet members. i think what this whole saga demonstrates is that the electoral commission simply doesn't have the resources or the power, it has been looking at this for more than a year and nothing has happened. whatever the result of the investigation into vote leave's activities, government

the allegation comes from a former volunteer, shahmir sanni, who is effectively saying that the mainwas allowed. the main allegation is that vote leave was allowed to spend £7 million during the campaign. 0ther campaign groups were allowed to spend £700,000 but in addition to its own spending, it gave more than £600,000 to a guy called darren grimes to run a youth campaign called beleave. that is perfectly legal but what they are saying that effectively this was nothing remotely independent, shahmir sanni says this was effectively a front for vote leave, who were required to spend all the money they got on a company doing digital advertising for the leave campaign. if that were true then that would be a breach of the rules. i have to say all the main figures behind the live campaign are robust, and so is darren grimes and even if the electoral watchdog, the electoral commission, which is currently investigating, even if it finds a breach of the rules, i have to say, it has no power to rerun the referendum. iain watson, thank you. two policemen have been killed in a car bombing in the

shahmir sanni says vote leave got around spending limits by channelling funds through another pro—brexithas called for the allegations to be investigated. here's our political correspondent iain watson. there could be a very simple explanation for the vote leave victory. they may well have run a better campaign and more voters wa nted better campaign and more voters wanted to leave the eu than remain. but one of their volunteers claims that the main brexit campaign didn't play by the rules and spent more money than was allowed. vote leave was permitted to spend £7 million, but as they approached that limit, they gave an additional £625,000 to smaller youth focused operation called the leave. it is alleged that that campaign may have been nothing more than a frightful vote leave itself. there was coordination. they saidi itself. there was coordination. they said i wasn't but there was. it was set up vote leave until post—referendum we were constantly communicating with the lead senior members, seeking advice on being instructed by them. but before the referendum as well as after. shabbir

the allegation from this former vote leave volunteer, shahmir sanni, is that vote leave spent more than did so by using a smaller campaign group in order to spend more money. so vote leave gave £625,000 to a group called beleave, which was a youth campaign promoting brexit. that is legitimate. that wouldn't have been against the rules. but what this former volunteer is saying is that beleave was not an independent campaign group, that the money that was given to it was spent with a company that was used by vote leave in order to do digital advertising. if that were the case, that would be against the rules, but vote leave and beleave have both denied that. and borisjohnson was of course at the forefront of the leave campaign, and he has been talking about this. boris johnson tweeted in response and described this as completely ludicrous. he said vote leave won the referendum fair and square. we've also heard from others who have been critical about this like tom watson from the labour party, who has said that theresa may, the prime minister, needs to make sure that the electoral commiss
