Judge ordered Lord Sugar to remove expenses 'tweet'

A Judge ordered the Labour peer and Apprentice star to take down the post in January during the trial of Lord Taylor, who was ultimately convicted.

Mr Justice Saunders ruled the message could unfairly influence jurors.

A spokesman for Lord Sugar said he had complied with the order immediately.

The media was prevented from reporting the matter at the time.

However, Mr Justice Saunders lifted the reporting restrictions on Thursday following the conviction of ex-Conservative peer Lord Hanningfield - the last in a series of expenses trials involving former parliamentarians.

The Labour peer has also tweeted on this verdict.
