Labour's Dirty Cash 2



The Daily Mail swift on the heels of ITN News are reporting further developments in the cash for honours scandal. It seems that despite Labour politicians at the time of the Plaid/SNP exposure, labelling it a cheap gimmick – standard Labour party response when they are caught with their pants down – the net is closing in directly on the PM’s head.

According to the Mail, Police have uncovered that Blair’s senior staff used a second e mail network to discuss ‘Ks’ and ‘Ps’ for Labour party loan donors. Their interpretation is that K stands fro Knighthoods and P for Peerages.

When Ruth Turner, 10 Downing Street gatekeeper, was quoted when asked how she came into politics ‘I fell in with the wrong crowd’ – I presume little did she know the prophetic nature of her words.

Labour’s Dirty Cash


Downing Street Senior aid Ruth Turner has been arrested as part of the cash honours inquiry it was announced today. The arrest marks a further development in the whole affair with the investigation seemingly homing in on No 10.

Looks increasingly like Tony Blair will have more than just a war crimes trial in the Hague to worry about when he eventually goes. It’s somewhat ironic that a law brought in to deal with a double dealing Welsh Lib Dem Prime Minister in the 1920s looks like catching Teflon Tony following a complaint by the party of Wales.


With all the trouble the Plaid Parliamentary party is causing New Labour you'd have thought they would be ardent supporters of Welsh independence by now!
