I was about to reply: "Well at least they haven't sacked the boss of of the organization doing the investigation unlike Trump approach", but I thought I'd better check. Just as well; a Tory has leapt to his feet on the issue:

"The Conservative Karl McCartney, who is seeking re-election as MP for Lincoln and who was one of the MPs under investigation, said the Electoral Commission’s chief executive, Claire Bassett, and her senior management team should resign.

If they don’t, Tory MPs after the election will urge the government “to abolish this incompetent organisation”, he said in a statement.
