Had it not already been explained though?
The donations were made before he became party leader, so did not go into the main party account.
Not ideal, no.
But does it really matter? Once he became leader, subsequent donations went to a party account.
And although these donations in question went into his own account,
they were fully & properly declared and accounted for. And equal amounts (actually, a
slightly larger amount in total) were transferred
out of his account to pay the staffing costs that they had officially been declared as being used for.
So what exactly is the issue?
