Yesterday a number of co-conspirators emailed to draw attention to the Labourgraph story about Milburn being offered the Chancellor-ship by Miliband. Guido ignored the story because he thought it was transparently crap.

The rebuttals are now in and they are clear “absolute bollocks” from Milburn and “work of fiction” from Milband. If this is the Brownies being clever it is idiotic, it was written by journalists known to be sympathetic to Gordon. Rosa should really go back to the Mirror, she is trying single-handedly to stand up her story today with not a single on the record quote. Laughable. Sooner or later the Barclay brothers will realise their newspaper’s brand and culture is being destroyed – along with the profitability.

UPDATE : Rosa is denying all the suspicions on the Labourgraph blog.
