Sky News Exclusive: An attack ad on Google run by the Conservatives broke Google rules because of an error by Google

A Google source confirmed to Sky News that the failure to correctly display the ad was an error by the company.

Under existing British law, any candidates, political parties or non-party campaigners are required to have an imprint on any of their printed election campaigning material to show that they have produced it. As part of the Conservative campaign, an advertisement, served automatically through Google Ads, also appeared on Labour List - a website supporting the Labour Party.
