It seems the Labour Party fundraiser, Lord Levy, has been arrested in the cash-for-honours investigation. The Met has made clear its anger regarding political pressure leaning on the investigation, after they arrested Ruth Turner, one of Blair's aides, two weeks ago.

I seriously wonder how much pressure it will take to make Blair to resign.

Given that being a war criminal hasn't bothered him, I doubt Blair will care about this. He's been distancing himself from Levy for months.

Al Capone was jailed for tax evasion, Saddam was executed for what happened in Dujail and not Halabja.

Unless there’s an uncovering of some major involvement of Blair, methinks Levy, and Ms. Turner will be the focus point of any judicial proceedings.
Though Des Smith’s arrest is interesting; maybe Labour might stop being so enthusiastic about City Academies.
Watch yourself there! Low-flying pig.
