The highlight of this news is this:
the commission said, saying there were reasonable grounds to suspect that Banks, the insurance millionaire who backed the unofficial leave campaign, was not the “true source” of £8m in loans to it.
I wonder who could have been behind the money then? Surely it couldn't be something to do with those suspiciously favourable business offers from Russia that Banks engaged with in 2016? :D
