Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
The net closes in....
Auntie (again)Former government adviser Des Smith has been arrested as part of a police probe into cash-for-honors allegations.
Mr Smith, a secondary school head, was a council member of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, which helps the government recruit sponsors.
I wonder if slimey Blair will get his collar felt?
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.

With any luck he shall... and what a perfect resignation that will be -- him being taking in cuffs by the Policemen outside the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury with the Second Lord cackling all the way to his new house...

Last time I looked my neck was a sort of soft, pastel-shaded pink, does that count?

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
The plot thickens.
andA NEW CABINET minister has become embroiled in the cash for honours scandal. David Miliband, often touted as a “next generation” successor to Tony Blair, was named in covert tape recordings by a former government adviser arrested last week.
The adviser recommended that a businessman should target Miliband if he wanted to secure a knighthood in return for sponsoring a city academy.
PlodIt was reported last night that Blair may be questioned by police as a “significant witness”, possibly next month. A spokesman said Downing Street had received no request for an interview with or statement from Blair, but if any were made, “we will co-operate fully”.
I want to be a fly on the wall when they caution Blair.
"You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."
Still he can always get his Missus to act for him. He could have a word with that miscreant Archer and see if he could give him a tip or two about gaol.
Seriously though, this could potentially be the biggest story 'never' told. Blair wont be arrested or charged, he's far to slippery for that. He will have someone in mind to take the fall for him. Gordons not doing much these days.

Re: Labour treasurer ignorant of loans.
Did I say the plot thickens? This is just hubris at it's most aggressive.
MILLIONAIRE donors whose peerages have been blocked have been told by Labour party chiefs that they are still in line for honours.
The Times has learnt that Tony Blair may put the nominees on his resignation honours list, which would bypass the vetting that prevented them from getting honours in the first place.linkThree have been telephoned by 10 Downing Street since the peerages row broke to be offered the Prime Minister’s support. Mr Blair made some of the calls himself. No 10 has contacted Sir David and Mr Townsley to indicate that they will be put up for peerages again if they still want them. Sir Gulam has also had a supportive call from No 10, it is understood.
What with his wife signing official government reports to raise money for the party and hubby just ignoring the police and parliament to get his own way, I feel totally vindicated in my opinion of this manipulative man.
