Explosive Stuff

I'm not going to recite the story up until now, but today's papers make for interesting reading on the cash for honours story:

The Sunday Times claims that there was a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with the Police investigation. The implication is that the meeting was to decide how best to cover their tracks.

The News of the World claims that the Police now have enough evidence to charge Levy and Turner.

Recent polls suggest that opinion is turning against Blair rapidly, but will Labour MPs have to guts to see him off, or will they wait for further arrests?

For the electorate, the choice is not an easy one. By ousting Blair we might have leapt from the frying pan into the fire because the next PM is likely to be the Clunking Fist of Gordon "Prudence" Brown. He strikes fear into the middle-classes with his socialist tendencies and his economic record is full of over-spending, debt and inefficiency.

An election would be the way to deal with this mess, but the only person who can force one is the PM, whoever it will be.
