Morgan McSweeney was the director of the Labour Together think tank between 2017 and 2020 .

The group set out to develop alternatives to the hard-Left policies of Jeremy Corbyn .

But he stopped alerting the Electoral Commission to new donations made to Labour Together in December 2017 .

This meant hundreds of thousands of pounds went undeclared within the watchdog’s 30-day limit.

An Electoral Commission investigation was launched in January 2021 and reported back eight months later .

This led to a fine of 14,250 being imposed, which a spokesman said was “towards the high end of [the] scale”.
