Cheeky Jowell

I see from the BBC that "Tony Blair said she (Tessa Jowell) had not been "in breach" of the ministers' code of conduct as her husband did not tell her about a £344,000 gift he had received."

I have to say that the cover story is worse than the original offence. To say to millions of ordinary Labour voters that a 344 000 pound gift, whoever it may be from, could go unnoticed by a family is adding insult to injury.

"Darling we've had hundreds of thousands of pounds I forgot to tell you about for the last four years."
"Really, and here am I searching for special offers at the co-op!"

New Labour came to power in 1997 on a wave of public indignation about the disgusting corruption of the Tory Party. Well that same wave needs to sweep away the New Labour canaille now.

And the very fact that it is Tony Blair who decides the guilt or innocence of his favourites is laughable.
