💷Abolish the cap on fines for law-breaking
🤑Close foreign donor loopholes

[Electoral Commission @ElectoralCommUK]

We have made a series of recommendations to ensure the tools used to regulate electoral campaigning continue to be fit for purpose in the digital age. We continue to urge the UK Government to act on our recommendations to provide greater transparency in digital campaigning.

"Fines alone will not change behaviour and that is our ultimate aim. Our other tools will help. Auditing political parties, for example, allows us to give practical input into what they can do differently to comply with the law." @CampaigningAPPG

[ICO - Information Commissioner's Office @ICOnews]

Steve Wood tells @CampaigningAPPG: "The most crucial recommendation in the ICO's Democracy Disrupted? report is the need for a stronger set of rules, in the form of a Statutory Code of Practice. Our draft rules are due out for consultation on 25 July."

On how the ICO regulates political campaign groups that often dissolve after an election: "We are on this 24/7. We can look at any organisation, at any time, about how they use personal data." @CampaigningAPPG https://t.co/QGskZxBOeu

[Electoral Commission @ElectoralCommUK]

Our research shows that 46% of voters want greater regulation of social media campaigning. We’re appearing in front of @campaigningappg today to talk about how this could be achieved.

It’s official. The biggest political donor in British history - the subject of a criminal investigation by the NCA - is using his who-knows-where-it-comes-from millions to take me to court.

Thank you @DeidreBrock for making the case for the APPG on Electoral Campaigning Transparency!

My question to the Prime Minister today at #PMQs. Even now she's insisting that the #Brexit #referendum was perfectly fine! Simply not good enough

[Electoral Reform Society @electoralreform]

MPs from across the political divide stepped up efforts to update Britain’s analogue-age election rules, by launching the All Party Parliamentary Group @CampaigningAPPG. https://t.co/xJPGy63hiu

For 2+ years, I've been subjected to a sustained campaign of propaganda & abuse by @guidofawkes. Sexist, relentless, week in, week out. And y'day, I learned Cambridge Analytica's successor is operating from his close friend & lawyer's office. Why is this so toxic? Let me explain

[Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock]

Last night I spoke at @The_Convention_ about how we can safeguard the future of our democracy from the dodgy money & dirty data that polluted the EU ref.

For far too long we've been complacent. Our new @CampaigningAPPG seeks to put that right. #NeverAgain
