Lord Levy will be named on the BBC Ten O'Clock News as the person who told Gulaam Noon he didn't have to declare his loan to the Labour Party to the Lords Appointment Committee. On Levy's say so, he retrieved his nomination papers from Ruth Turner, Blair's Director of Government Relations and altered them.
Levy will have many questions to answer following the BBC's report. You read it here first.
Hmmm ... some post-watershed sleaze. I like.
ReplyDeleteA time-stamp 6 minutes ahead of Guido, too. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteOut of interest, how come Nick Bloggers-are-Scum-I'm-The-Only-Political-Commentator-in-the-Village Robinson didn't break this? I though Pestie was the new Jeff Randall?
(sorry, didn't mean that to sound quite so insulting to Mr Peston)
I've got a spare million, can I buy one from Levy and donate it to Prescott?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the story could go right up to the King of the Porkies
ReplyDeleteHas plod got the bottle to go to Teflon Towers and ask his Lordship?
Probably not
Anyway, he probably will have his alibi ready, God told him to do it ( at the same time God told him to go to war in Iraq)
and after all , he is a pretty straight kind of Guy
Que the "we're bringing in new legislation supported by all Parties as soon as possible" excuse with a side order of "it's was legal and everyone does it anyway" with maybe a small glass of "public funnding for us"
ReplyDeleteI am fully expecting Harriet Harman's candidature for deputy PM to gain further momentum. This would put Mr Dromey back in the spotlight and increase the chances of loanations precipitating leadership change.
ReplyDeleteI think that by backing her, Labour MPs can damage Blair without leaving fingerprints which is what they all seem to be itching to do.
