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?

Prezza breaks with Labour to tell Adam Boulton:

“I don’t like you but I don’t want to put you under statutory control.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
