Breaking: Vote Leave heavily fined and referred to Police for breaking the law. The organisation's lack of co-operation suggests it was not an honest mistake.

Vote Leave, the official Brexit campaign, has been fined and referred to the police for breaking electoral law.
The Electoral Commission found that the campaign group exceeded its legal spending limit of £7m by almost £500,000 during the 2016 referendum campaign.
The allegations centre around a £625,000 payment Vote Leave gave to the youth-focused campaign group BeLeave, led by fashion student Darren Grimes.
BeLeave then spent more than £675,000 with Aggregate IQ under a common plan with Vote Leave, the commission said.
Bob Posner, the Electoral Commission's director of political finance and regulation and legal counsel, said it had found "clear and substantial" breaches of the law.
He said: "Vote Leave has resisted our investigation from the start, including contesting our right as the statutory regulator to open the investigation.
"It has refused to cooperate, refused our requests to put forward a representative for interview, and forced us to use our legal powers to compel it to provide evidence.
"Nevertheless, the evidence we have found is clear and substantial, and can now be seen in our report."
