LISTEN: South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay has spoken outside Southwark Crown Court, after being cleared of breaking electoral expenses rules - 09/01/19

Kent MP Craig Mackinlay has been found not guilty of falsifying election expenses.

He'd always denied any wrong doing during the 2015 general election campaign when he beat former Ukip leader Nigel Farage to the South Thanet seat.

Last month his election agent Nathan Gray was cleared.

Campaign specialist Marion Little has been found guilty on two counts of "intentionally encouraging or assisting an offence" in relation to the expenses returns.
