Data watchdog issues online election warning to parties 

Senior Political Correspondent

Just over two weeks before the European elections, the UK’s data watchdog has warned political parties they’re being closely watched about how they target voters online.

The Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is concerned that powerful tools used for campaigning are poorly understood and could be misused.

She told this programme that she’s written to parties warning them they have to stay within the law.
