Levy accused of bullying Blair aide
Labour fundraiser Lord Levy was accused of trying to 'bully' Tony Blair's top aide into changing her story in the cash for peerages case. His meeting with the Prime Minister's 'gatekeeper', Ruth Turner, last summer left her in tears and triggered a police investigation into a possible cover-up.
OTOH, Lord Levy tried to dampen down the row over his attempts to gag the media reporting the cash for honours scandal, describing as "preposterous" claims that his actions were politically motivated.
Well we know Joe Kagan and Rudy Sternberg (AKA Lord Kagan and Lord Plurenden after getting peerages) went to the nick, and the words "Lady Slagheap" still creates a stench even in the Labor Party.
What is more it seems that leaks claim that Reid for all his talk, is not concerned with cleaning up the Home Office which is regarded by many as by now a lamentable mess, all he wants to do is to find out what harmless members of the Probation Service are leaking information, and to hell with the need for a cleanup.
Britain is looking to win a 2 billion pound order from Saudi Arabia for up to three naval destroyers, the Independent said on Friday in an unsourced report. Riyadh could be interested in purchasing two or three Type 45 destroyers, it said. So at least Lord Goldsmith must be doing well with his covering up if there are any hopes of that order.
IMO: At least people won't have to vote Tory, we have a Tory Govt right now it seems. And that has often been said.
