The Electoral Commission has declared that the Conservative Party must include Laura Kuenssberg’s BBC salary as an election expense after it was proved she reported election news in a manner benefitting the Tories.

Kuenssberg, the political editor for BBC News, is in hot water after her coverage during the election campaign was proven to show ‘clear bias towards the Conservative Party’.

As a result, the Conservative Party will be forced to include Laura’s £177,000 BBC salary as an election expense.

‘Hopefully they’ll accept the money in rubles,’ one Conservative minister told us.

This is a huge hit for the Tories as £177,000 represents money that could have been better spent on hiring actors to stand behind Boris Johnson in support of the Prime Minister.

While Laura Kuenssberg and the Conservative Party have both declined to comment, the BBC has said they will launch a full investigation into the matter, find Kuenssberg guilty, and then not do anything about it…again.
