One of the players in “Cash for Peerages scandal” was a certain Jack Dromey. He thought it would be helpful to appear in a TV studio and ‘sing like a canary’ about how he had no knowledge of the loans despite being the Treasurer of the Labour Party. He was so indignant I thought he was going to burst a blood vessel.
I couldn’t understand his motive for so publicly airing his grievances on the inner workings of the Labour Party other than to undermine Tony Blair and hasten his departure.
A few years on, there was found to be no scandal and regrettably Tony Blair has moved on and Jack Dromey is still the Labour Party Treasurer.
I am looking forward to seeing an appearance on the news by the Labour Party Treasurer telling us what he knew of the latest donations. Was he aware of them or not? Also was he aware of the donation received by the winner of the Deputy Leadership contest? The problem for Mr Harriet Harman is that this time he can’t credibly play the “I was kept in the dark” card.
I agree. I contacted Mr Dromey after his last media interview to advise him that I felt he was undermining Tony Blair and, further, that was his intention. He and his wife have always supported Gordon Brown. I am sure that support is wavering when GB failed to even acknowledge Harriet Harman’s integrity at his monthly press conference. I do not believe for one moment that she wittingly acted improperly. This PM is going to cost Labour the next election. He has had years of planning and scheming to become leader and he is not doing well. It just shows you how well Tony Blair kept things together during his premiership. I hope those traitors who sought to oust him hang their heads in shame. I am feeling embarrassed, ashamed and depressed at the present time at how the government is performing. I see no leadership – just strategy and the never ending enquiries to deflect the lack of leadership. In despair………
