Michael Crick Couldn't Investigate a Paper Bag
Newsnight earlier in the week had Crick doorstepping Cameron. Iain Dale won't mind me mentioning that Crick even called him for info.
Crick in his report ruled out Johan Eliasch giving the Tories money - he actually gave £2.6 million. (Guido had guestimated he gave a £1 million.) Guido had also guestimated Michael Spencer had given a £1 million in cash and kind, Crick ruled Spence out as well. The Times quoted Spencer later in the week saying it was not quite a million. Crick's glory days are clearly behind him.
The full list is here.

You are 100% right, Guido.
Crick got the IDS investigation wrong, too. His best days are behind him.
"In addition we have loans totalling £4.5 million from the constituency Conservative Associations, and £200,000 from the Association of Conservative Clubs".
As we are approaching Local Election time, Do you think we need to know what the labour clubs and associations have lent. Or for that matter what and who has lent them money?
His expose of Huhne wasn't exactly devestating.
Huhne spent some of EU allowance on propaganda in his constituency. WOW!
Bottom line is there are no secret funders.
Crick had glory days?
that must have been long long ago
Hummm, for a more illuminating list of Tory creditors see here.
Michael Crick's glory days were at New College, Oxford when he got the Gilbert Webb Medley Prize (no, I don't forgive him) and after that this MGS boy went rapidly downhill as did his fellow BBC journalist from those years, from King Edward VI School in B'ham, one Lance Price
"Hiya! Guida here!! Busy as ever since I gave up being Britain's favourite page 3 stunna to write about politics for my old friends here at "Hello" as well as talking about politics on Channel 69 NudieNewsnight. (Take that you slag, Jodie Dale! You thought you were so clever but Guida always has the last laugh!!)
I used to think Essex Girl Jodie was the biggest minger in celeb politics but guess what! That was before I met the two Chelles- yes that's Chelle Levy and Chelle Crick!! What a pair (though not a patch on my pair, it goes without saying!){Continues for pages]
..... More next week when Guida tells us of her plans for the wedding of the century at the love-nest of Sir Elton and Lady John to Eastern European billionaire, philanthropist, rock god and people trafficker, Stalinsgran. And personally performs a citizen's arrest at number 10.
Go on Guida! We know you can do it! (The citizen's arrest that is).
You have to feel sorry for the Beeb. It must have sounded like such a great story when it started. Now it's just a boring process story about party funding and the only people seriously agitated are Brownites and Scottish and Welsh Nationalists. Yawn.
Henry, "feeling sorry for" and "the beeb" should rarely feature in any sentence.
