Just listening to Brown squirm under questioning - wonderful entertainment! The plot thickens.... Hilary Benn obviously knew something was wrong with these donations because he refused one offered via an intermediary. Harriet Harman on the other hand apparently accepted a similar donation from the same person but she didn't smell a rat
Good old Gordy of course reckons he was oblivious to it all despite the very large sums involved and Abrahams being very well known to New Labour's hierarchy ....
He wasn't exactly unequivocal in his support for Ms Harman either... I wonder why.....
In what many will view as an attempt to deflect responsibility he claimed that this latest enquiry would ensure this sort of thing couldn't happen again. Didn't they say that about the last one though??? I mean, how many enquiries do they need???
He also reminded us all of his statement after taking office that this country faced severe long term problems that he would ensure were tackled. Many people will right now be thinking that the most pressing problem we have is getting ourselves a government which is worthy of the name and in so doing ridding ourselves of a bunch of inept leeches.
