Bungling staffers at Labour's head office sent out so many leaflets to addresses in the Sutton & Devonport constituency that the Labour candidate's campaign spent £6,000 more than they were allowed to.
The overspend isn't inconsiderable either - the spending limit was £12,500 which means they spent almost 150% of the legal limit.
Labour's lawyers are arguing that it's a genuine mistake and expect the judge to let them off. Two other constituencies were also affected by the same cock-up.
If the Labour Party can't run an election campaign without overspending then what hope is there for the economy if they ever got back into power?
