LibDem’s Biggest Donor Arrested

As Iain Dale and Yellow Peril flagged up three hours ago, the Press Association is now confirming that Michael Brown, who gave a dodgy £2.4 million donation to the LibDems, has been arrested in Spain to face extradition on fraud charges. These mugshots date back to when he skipped bail in Florida.

So that explains the LibDems failure to make capital out of the Loans for Lordships scandal.

The Dead Tree Press is getting beat by bloggers time and time again, it has taken a newspaper two weeks to catch up on the Airmiles bullshit spin highlighted by Guido here and here as well as on Blairwatch. Are political journalists getting lazier?

Lord Lamont told ITV News…

“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
