The fine follows an investigation into alleged misreporting of expenses during the 2015 general election campaign. It relates to allegations that the party used national money to fund local campaigns, said the BBC's Norman Smith. It comes after 12 police forces asked the Crown Prosecution Service to consider charges over election expenses.

New Scottish Independence Referendum To Be Called

“It is clear that our voice and our interests can be ignored at any time and at any issue. This is where we stand today… I cannot pretend to the Scottish people that a compromise agreement looks remotely likely… I will now take the steps necessary to make sure that Scotland will have a choice at the end of this process. A choice of whether to follow the UK to a hard Brexit or to become an independent country… The Scottish government’s mandate for offering this choice is beyond doubt.”
