Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
Looks like the Downing St. NKVD has swung into action.
clickCharles Clarke says he has "serious questions about Jack Dromey's capacity" as Labour treasurer after the row over the £14m of secret loans to the party.
So if Tony gets caught out with his fingers in the till, no matter, just smear the messenger. Once, just once, it would be nice if they displayed the honesty they trumpeted about in '97.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
To be fair to Charles Clarke, you do have to wonder why the Labour treasurer didn't notice the fact that the party had gained £14 million.
"Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
It looks as though New Labour is going to implode.
Now Inspector Baboon of the Yard has been called in!The chairman of Labour's governing body has accused Home Secretary Charles Clarke of speaking out of turn in the row over secret loans to the party.
National Executive Committee chairman Sir Jeremy Beecham defended party treasurer Jack Dromey, who has said he knew nothing about £14m in loans.
I think the emotion is called schaudenfraudeSir Jeremy said the treasurer "shouldn't be criticised" and had "acted perfectly properly".
Meanwhile, police are examining three complaints that Labour has breached the honours system, something it denies.

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
Now our esteemed deputy leader gets embroiled.
Can you smell the stench?JOHN PRESCOTT made planning decisions in favour of two property developers who had given secret loans and a donation to the Labour party, it emerged this weekend.
The deputy prime minister gave his backing to a controversial £600m scheme proposed by Andrew Rosenfeld, chairman of the Minerva property company, only months after Rosenfeld had secretly loaned Labour £1m last year.
It was the second time Prescott had favoured the company. In 2003 he approved planning permission for a controversial skyscraper in London.
At that time the chairman of the company was Sir David Garrard, who had only months earlier given Labour £200,000. Garrard went on to lend the party £2.3m last year and was nominated for a peerage.

Can 'Teflon' Tony get away with this one?
andTONY BLAIR knew that four businessmen had secretly loaned millions of pounds to Labour when he put them forward for peerages, a Downing Street insider has disclosed.
andThe disclosure shows for the first time Blair’s hands-on role in the loans for honours scandal. He is thought to be the only person involved in choosing nominees who was aware of the identities of the financial supporters.
“When Blair selected his shortlist of peers he was aware of which ones had given loans. He was given a long list of names to choose from and personally selected which ones to put forward. The prime minister knew exactly what was going on with the loans from the very beginning.”

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
So, how long now until Blair resigns I wonder? I've heard some say quite soon, but I'm doubting it.
I think it highlights perfectly why Blair's style is so bad. One person simply cannot keep track of things that are going on, and they cannot investigate things as a good journalist or similarly minded person could. It's far too centralized, IMO.
