The Liberal Democrats, under pressure over a forged email scandal, have altered their official explanation of their controversial £100,000 sale of ‘data services’.
The party’s customer was Britain Stronger in Europe (BSiE) and the work was done before the 2016 Brexit referendum – in which BSiE was the official Remain campaign group.
Last week the Lib Dems told openDemocracy – via that forged email – that these services amounted to “delivering a correctly formatted copy of the [national electoral] register for the database [BSiE] were using”.
