Electronic equipment was confiscated in the South Yorkshire Police inquiry, the BBC also understands.

I read in Private Eye that the Lib Dems in Sheffield have no money at all to fight a by-election, so there's a good chance Labour will take this seat in the by-election (if O'Mara goes through with his promise; or maybe he'll be convicted of something and there'll be a recall).
