We all just might root out this
corruption yet.
The police have also been told that senior Labour figures always knew that many of the loans they received from millionaire backers would be converted to donations in the future. If this is the case it could open up the possibility of other party figures facing charges under the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act 2000 which stipulates donations over £5,000 must be declared.
The Observer has established that Blair attended a meeting with Levy before the last general election when the plans to raise large amounts of funding through secret loans were first drawn up. Last week it was alleged that Levy advised Indian meals tycoon Sir Gulam Noon not to include details of his loan when he was nominated for a House of Lords seat. Levy denies this.
Pressure is also mounting on the Conservative party over funding. David Cameron is refusing to give police the names of secret lenders who gave almost £5m to the party before the last election. A senior Tory said the lenders signed commercial confidentiality contracts and did not want their identities revealed.
Hmmmm, wonder if some of these "secret lenders" are from our side of the pond? We all know how much *Co loves to dabble in foreign elections.
