Journalists lie to politicians far more often than politicians lie to journalists.
If the PM through his OS can't even answer basic questions such as "has Mr Blair been questioned again" without lying through his teeth, we can only assume that he has been telling the police lies too.
and this is the Adam Boulton who's married to Anji Hunter, Blair's best chum and former spin doctor...
Iain, was he questioned under caution?
This is clearly bad for the Prime Minister. It shows the police are toward the end of their investigation. At the begining of the week, Iain, you said thast the Prime Minister might just resign this week. May I suggest you look back at that, as I think there could be another statement or two later on today OR on friday.
P.S. Isn't it wierd that the Prime Minister was arrested on Friday, yet the press release was today. Today also happen to be the day that J-J-Jack S-S-Straw was talking to the cabinet on reform of the house of Lords? Are the met secretly in talks with the SNP or something?
'Journalists lie to politicians far more often than politicians lie to journalists.'
Journalists arn't public servants and therefore arn't answerable to us....
Given that he has lied to the people of Britain about WMD, dressed up a dodgy dossier - his whole administration is based on a Tory lie - his spokesman lying to Sky News (themselves professional liars)is hardly big news.
Key question:
Was he interviewed in connection with cash-for-honours or in connection with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice?
Hmmm...the fact that Bliar did not correct the inaccurate statements by his Official Spokesman is in itself amazingly dodgy. Of course, it is not a fib, but neither is it in the spirit of 'the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth'.
I bet the lobby as a whole isn't very impressed, which is not suprising. I really don't see how the PMOS couldn't have known, and if the Lobby has been deliberately misled, Downing Street are really going to cop it. Ironically, it's their secrecy which is more damaging than the initial investigation itself.
Has anyone noticed that you can win a free bottle of champagne at the Guardian?
Like the Major government, where sleaze became associated with ministers, the same applies to Tony Blair and his government. We must count the days before Tony calls the removal men in and leaves Downing Street. This is the End for Blair.
Crikey Curly ! You have to enter the competition 'at least 24 hours' before Blair announces...
As the song says, 'Get your skates on, mate..'

Not at all. This corrupt collapse is associated with the entire leadership of the Labour Party and, in its association with the funding of the 2005 election, with the whole of the Labour Party in the country as well.
This is not brown envelopes of fivers for a placed parliamentary question. This is over £14 million pounds used and directed in its use by Gordon Brown, to win the last general election.
Not to speak of a 'charitable' institution, now under investigation, with which Brown has the closest of links and which uses 11 Downing Street for its closed-to-the-public jamborees, the last only days ago.
This is a supine Labour Party unwilling to call itself to book in the House of Commons or in a specially called Party Conference.
This is the Labour Party unfit to govern - not just a few bad apples.
