Brexit funder Arron Banks ignored campaign suspension after Jo Cox’s murder

Exclusive: As MPs prepare to vote next week on Theresa May's Brexit deal, tonight we expose new details about the referendum campaign itself.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
This programme has seen new evidence that suggests that Arron Banks and his Leave.EU team spent large sums on other groups, much of which appears not to have been properly declared. A battle bus and a private jet for UKIP. An office, computers and pay for senior figures in the pro-Brexit Labour Leave group. Most shocking of all, we reveal his reaction to the murder of MP Jo Cox. Less than 24 hours after the killing, Banks ordered his team to "up the spend" on social media advertising, and they released a press release, issued in the name of Labour Leave, attacking the media for "politicising" her murder.
A warning: this report contains flash photography.

Had the referendum been legally binding the campaigns would have been held accountable by the electoral commission and overspending would have meant the referendum result was void. So we had an advisory decision, a result due to the deceptive campaigns which overspent massively to achieve this goal, mostly online through KZbin. They knew they could get away with it to get the result they wanted... The brexiteers fell for it.

They had an additional (estimate) £500,000 Government website advertising done for them... They capitalised on the death of Jo Cox, insinuating that Remainers are the 'moral ones'... They lied... Institutionally the ball was in Remains court. They lost the referendum because the majority of voters saw through the lies and wanted sovereignty for their country.

@Robert Vaughn can you point out at least some of the lies, please?

[@guzford]

More fake news, shame on you channel 4, we voted LEAVE!!!! regardless of the campaign, we still want to leave

[@dmlewey]

You want to leave, although the benefits look a bit feeble. Can you still name one?

[@randomdaveUK]

A lot voted leave because of the campaigns. That's the point.

[@odethebear]

How can you say that?

[@giolag5593]

"We voted leave"...I guess you have spoken with each and everyone of the 17.4 thus you are sure that you voted leave for the same reasons...Some were told we will be like Norway or Switzerland, others that we will never leave the customs union, some said that we will never leave without a deal..nobody had said anything about no deal WTO rules, a hard border with Ireland and all that BS...Also brexiteers said that leaving means that we will immediately be more prosperous and have a bright future..Now they say they were referring to a couple of decades after brexit..So if everything that was told has been a lie why should we leave?

[@lucasmoreno5330]

Gio Lag a few million Leave pensions have died since the vote and as the same time new voters are now eligible.

[@henryrofe7819]

So biased

[@ihategeorgebushjr]

I agree it is biased. But it doesn't mean it's not also true.

1975 EEC Referendum Expenditure IN Campaign: £1.5m - or £11m in today’s money Out Campaign: £133,629, equivalent to £1m today. 2016 EU Referendum Expenditure Remain Campaign: £28,359,066 (Including £9.5million for pro Remain leaflets) Leave Campaign: £13,436,241 The Remain Campaign had: Foreign money from Geoger Soros, Goldman Sachs, J P Morgan and others... The majority of grassroot campaigns supporting them... The majority of the Conservative, Labour, Green, Lib Dem, SNP and other parties supporting them... The majority of regional, national and international media supporting them... The majority of celebrities supporting them... The majority of councillors supporting them... The EU establishment supporting them... Foreign Heads of State such as Obama, Merkel, Hollande supporting them... The majority of large corporations and banks supporting them... They had an additional (estimate) £500,000 Government website advertising done for them... They capitalised on the death of Jo Cox, insunating that Remainers are the 'moral ones'... They lied... Institutionally the ball was in Remains court. They lost the referendum because the majority of voters saw through the lies and wanted sovereignty for their country. Many Leavers had voted to join the EEC in the '70's and felt as though they had been lied to.

[@jameswhiteley6843]

David Lulham like what?

[@jameswhiteley6843]

I notice this comment is at the very bottom. How odd.

[@Geffo555]

Can you PROVE that "Foreign money from Geoger Soros, Goldman Sachs, J P Morgan." was funelled to the Remain campaign? And who are the "others"?

[@jameswhiteley6843]

Geffo Me George Soros funded and is continuing to fund the Best for Britain campaign. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan donated £500,000 each to Britain Stronger in Europe campaign before the February deadline when donations had to be declared. BBC News has reported on Soros. The Telegraph reported on Goldman’s Sachs etc in this article: “Official pro-European Union campaign is part-funded by Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup and Morgan Stanley and France’s Airbus and Eurostar, Electoral Commission figures show”
