It is always reassuring to read this sort of thing. A hat-tip to David Hughes and also to Iain Martin, who takes a long hard look at Harriet Harman, who’s facing some very awkward questions today. She’s also married to the Labour party treasurer, Jack Dromey. Yesterday, he claimed he had no knowledge of the dodgy donations to the party. It’s the second time he’s has to do this in the last two years as he did not know about the cash for honours loans which bedevilled Tony Blair at the end of his time as Prime Minister. Realists might wonder how much shredding of email has been going on in the background during the last week – and this trend applies to all political parties.
