That is what he said one month before he became Prime Minister.
Yeah, right.
Labour's treasurer has revealed that he and other elected officials did not know the party had secretly borrowed millions of pounds last year.
The New Labour hierarchy have been encouraging rich Luvvies not to make big donations to the party, but to make big loans on very preferential terms instead.
In this way, they circumnavigate new rules about naming donors, on the grounds that a business transaction is not a donation. So, when they get their peerage nominations, the donors (sorry, lenders) could slip in under the radar.
Except that the Standards Committee aren't as stupid as the Labour Hierarchy think they are. They spotted the scam and queried the nominations.
What makes it worse is that those new rules about donors were introduced by Tony Blair himself!
Also, it seems that the Labour party has two accounts - one that the general membership know about and another that they don't.
Blair + Money = Chaos
