Apparently the Deputy Prime Minister has been caught in loans row.

Does this spell trouble for Labour considering that even Prime Minister Blair knew about it?

That was last week. He's still in charge of things.

You do know what we do in Britian with day-old papers?
Corny, we use 'em to wrap fish and chips in.

The country is currently more interested in the Boro fan who is to face the Court. Or Boro Star. Or was it the Boss who faced 5 hoodies? Yeah, summat aboot ASBOs it was.

If he can get away with punching a member of public during an election campaign while surrounded by journalists, he can get away with this.

And in his case, the defence that he had no idea what was going on is quite believable. :)

I think the allegation that the labour party took the loan and then granted planning permission is more concerning than the loans for peerages. The Lords power is wanning, but those people who got the planning permission are set to make a tonne of cash.
