It's not over yet, here's the BBC's latest. "Holyrood's standards watchdog has told Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander she was wrong not to declare donations to her leadership campaign.
Labour said Dr Jim Dyer had advised Ms Alexander that gifts in excess of £520 needed to be declared at Holyrood.
All donations to her campaign were less than £1,000 which do not need published through the Electoral Commission.
However, the commission is currently investigating a £950 donation from a Jersey-based businessman.
Ms Alexander said parliament officials told her donations to her leadership campaign did not have to be recorded in her MSP register of interests.
But Standards Commissioner Dr Dyer has taken advice from a QC and has told the Labour leader all donations over £520 are classed as "gifts" and should have been declared."
