Tony Blair's chief fundraiser Lord Levy has been arrested and bailed in connection with the "cash-for-honours" inquiry by the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Levy, 61, denies any wrongdoing and accused the police of using their arrest powers "totally unnecessarily".

The peer was one of the key figures in the securing of multi-million pound loans to the Labour Party last year.

Critics of Mr Blair have seized on news of the arrest as Lord Levy is a close ally and tennis partner of the prime minister, as well as his Middle East envoy.

Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond claimed the water was now "lapping around the prime minister's feet".

1. Not only was he Blair's chief fundraiser but he is

also his Middle Eastern Envoy... And given what's happening in the ME right now he might be a little distracted from the work in hand.

4. Blair seems as charmed as the Chimp his twin. Water has been lapping

round both their feet for too long. Time for some flooding there...:-(
