Operation Ribble Closes :
When Will Levy Be Charged?
The CPS got the final tranche of the Operation Ribble files on Friday.* The Met let the press know in no uncertain terms that they expected charges against the Sleaze Master General himself, Ruth Turner and Sir Chris Evans. If Powell faces charges too, it will be a devastating denouement to the Blair era. Blair himself is widely expected to escape without being charged, the documentary evidence being too weak.
The CPS could make a decision as soon as June, at a time when many expect the Blair-Brown handover to be in process. Guido has long believed that the police would not be fazed by dealing with powerful political figures, that Levy would inevitably face charges and is now convinced that senior figures at the CPS will not find it possible to sweep things under the carpet. Lord Goldsmith may not even be in office when the decision to prosecute is made, it could well be a Brown appointee. If Brown's Attorney General were to block charges the prospect of a private prosecution being brought remains. Soundings have already been taken by interested parties at the Inner Temple about this possibility.
If the Attorney General were to then enter a plea of nolle prosequi, claiming it would not be in the public interest to put Blair's lieutenants on trial, Brown's administration would forever be tainted with covering up his predecessor's corruption. Something Brown is unlikely to countenance.
One way or another, this is going to go all the way.

If the timing is June then couldn't Goldsmith reject the case and immediately hend over to Brown's successor.
You don't think that maybe the Sunday Telegraph's story on the leaked Walworth Road memo is intended to ensure that Goldsmith can not back up his sponsor and friend in this? I love the bit on Page 2 where Labour demonstrates its total contempt for donors with the line,
... need to "flatter" the desire of donors to offer policy advice.
PS: Using the "sampling fine food and fine wine" reason stopped being used by Dead Tree Press hacks about 25 years ago - get an XDA or similar, which would at least allow you to liveblog using your existing system. Even some notoriously technophobic Times reporters have now mastered the art of using those, let alone using a Blackberry.
The documentary evidence will be weak because Blair will have used interrupts, but there is always the chance that these people will not be prepared to go down without him.
Are they using the same lawyer, or are they separately defended? If the latter, then the chances of one breaking ranks are greater. Also the chances of a "stiletto defence", where each accuses the other of being the prime mover and the jury - in disgust - sends all of them down.
I don't think it's politically possible for Goldsmith to block this - even if he himself is so enamoured of Blair as to go down in history as a rogue for him.
It's going to be a cruel, cruel Summer.
what are interrupts svcp
Gotta worry about Goldsmith being in charge of this, there was obvious reasons behind giving jobs to Tony's Cronies, covering Labour's crooked arse when needed, is one of them.
O2 XDA Orbit (HTC3300)is nice bit of kit. Has wi-fi and GPS sat-nav, in-case you can't find your way home after sampling too much fine food and wine! But I suppose, in that case, you'd be too pissed to operate it and would probably leave it in cab or something. Perhaps a PPC/smartpone isn't such a good idea.
This will be the final cherry on the top of the sleaziest government ever.The people will not forgive labour for this, iraq, the nhs and pensions
oh and gordon bloody bruun.to all the zanulabour trolls reading here GO HOME AND PREPEAR FOR OBLIVION.you will soon know how the libdums feel,tony will be the last elected labour pm for decades and bruun will last till the first election.
Guido, power to you - you've cracked the work life balance.
the documentary evidence being too weak.
Documentary evidecenc emay be weak, but if those charged decide to warble Bliar may soon be also charged.
The investigation is just one part of the process and now the file has been sent to the CPS the fun will start...if charges are brought. It isn't too late for Bliar to be interviewed again and it is still a mystery as to why they waited until now to pass the file to the CPS, the suspicion being that it gives Bliar time to leave office before any serious collar feeling occurs.
This the end of the beginning of the process GF, not the end of the process before a court appearance occurs.
Who gets to play the part of Brutus?
Telegraph is publishing documents - rather conincidental timing.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=RY2MQNF0NVN4ZQFIQMGCFGGAVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2007/04/22/nhons22.xml
"A document, obtained by The Sunday Telegraph, discloses that Tony Blair, Lord Levy and Jonathan Powell were at the centre of a "cash for access" policy to raise millions of pounds from the moment the party came to power in 1997."
'Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.'
In The Times
"Blair to be called to the Witness box." [presumably they'll let his 'mates' land him in it].
"Speculation is also mounting as to whether John McTernan, another senior Blair aide, is assisting police.McTernan, No 10’s director of political relations who is now running Labour’s election campaign in Scotland, " [So is the Labour Campaign in Scotland being run by a crook who is taking money for policies as well?]
I predict that if Levy is charged the whole house will come down. There is no way that man will stay loyal to Blair when he is looking at a term of imprisonment.
Hush, I think I hear that fat lady warming up.
even the beeboids were forced to give it a mention, so there must be some fairly heavy hints being dropped by plod !
I have just purchased a 5 gallon tub of glee (£35 eBAY)
No doubt my hands will be in need of it.
If half a dozen are charged one will go QE , my money is on "Sir" Chris Evans .
*rubs hands*
"Tony Blair.... the prison diaries"
"wull today, I yur know woke up as yur do , to find a large jamaican chap hanging out of my arse , I said come o im not a homophobe but is this ,yur know fair in a modern britain?"
I think a cover-up may still look like the best option to this shower. Yes, it will stink and the electorate will know it stinks, but a long drawn-out trial possibly dragging in Blair could be far worse as all the dirty-linen will be aired in public. The Brownite media (BBC, Sky, News Int) can very quickly forget about this if no charges are brought. Whilst extremely damaging publicity from a trial will be unavoidable, even the Beeb will have trouble not talking about that.
pity there isnt live coverage of jury trials, Sky woould luv it
The DPP is adamant the decision to prosecute is his alone. Not sure why the AG needs to be involved at all, apart from getting their mates off obviously.
Will Levy do a "Shirley" and fuck off to Israel with all his millions?
At last the bastards are caught by the balls! It will be written on Blair's epitaph:
"I'm a pretty straight kind'a guy!"
Rejoice!!!
The secret of great comedy is timing - so too with tragedy. What price that after Gobshite enters No 10 he changes the AG. The new AG will find miraculously that "a prosecution would not be in the public interest". Gobshite should remenber what the American public did to Ford.
At least it should hasten the departure of Toady and Clownmouth from No 10.
not to worry folks of the CPS passes up on this
there are others looking at private prosecutions for the good of the country
OOhhh, Guido, We have come all this way together, Oooh,, and we are going ALL the way..yes, yes, yes, !!!!
AAAaaaahh.....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=FDXSVGBYN2LAZQFIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/04/22/nhons22.xml
But there's not doubt any prosecution will lose its' bite after Blair and his crew have gone. He'll be the ex-PM, who cares?
"Who cares ?"
I do.
The Pole is fucked (apologies to 'Sir Richard Mottram) and when he is pole-axed the mendacious grinning Blair will likewise be fucked since to save himself he will have to screw Pole. Levy is a sideshow. When Pole is charged Blair's legacy will be on permanent show. Think Clinton think fellatio/Lewinsky. Think Blair think Corruption.
probably the dead, injured, grieving and refugees of Iraq care that he is held to account some way
This is one of the reasons Blair is so reluctant to go. He'll be far more vulnerable to eventual prosecution if he's no longer PM and Brown as PM would love to see Blair pilloried and would do everything he could to encourage it.
savonarola - tend to agree, they can say Levy is not in Government. But look at the article in the Telegraph to see what a pedestal they had put him on - the seeds of their destruction were there from day one.
It is worth pointing out in the melee here that many people, myself included, thought that this was a :-
* storm in a teacup
* a complete horlicks
* a storm in an eggcup
* a cup of bovril
* a storm in a teacup full of bovril [get on with it, ed]
I certainly didn't think it would 'go the distance' and bedevil Tony Blair to the end of his 'reign'.
But it finally looks as though the fat lady is clearing her throat. Let us just hope that Goldsmith is not going to commit hare-kiri on her with his ceremonial sword..
Oh I do hope so...And please Guido can you ensure that some mud sticks on Gordon too. That would be fantastic
anon 1228. Yes they did put Levy and any businessman who had made a million or two on a pedestal since professional politicians could never hack it in the commercial world. Blair in awe of bizmen, likewise Brown who was funded by the corrupt and dodgy Robinson.
Pole is Blair and Blair is Pole. So a charge against Pole is a charge against Blair. They are homogenous. Blair can put a little distance between himself and Levy. Not the case with Pole.
My hope is to see Pole(Blair)/Levy charged. Ruthie was just a silly little girl and should be given a 100 lines..
savonarola - good point, perhaps Guido could learn a lesson from the yanks, who brought Karl Rove into the spotlight from the shadows by referring to him as the 'President's Brain'.
Though that might be to flatter Pole a little.
By the way doesn't he have an 'evil twin' in the manner of Dave Milibland - whose clone was on QT with Dimblebore last week ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6580987.stm
Ground prepared for a cop-out..
anonymous at 12:37 hopes that some mud will stick to Gobshite. Well, since Gobshite ran the last erection campaign (where we got shafted yet again) with all that dirty money....
But then again Gobshite is the clown who flogged our gold at the bottom of the market - the pension theiving bastard.
So how many of your predictions came true Guido?
I thought you said it was likely the PM would be questioned under caution?
We still don't know if the CPS will take up the case, whilst knacker of the yard has been very zealous in preparing this case (in the case of Ruth Turner I would say disgracefully zealous), we still don't know what evidence exists.
a couple of points from the Times articles:
(1) They say Pole has been interviewed twice by police - iirc Downing Street have not yet confirmed that Powell has indeed been interviewed, despite the question having been asked.
(2) They also say that Powell was present at the meeting with Levy and Turner during which, it is alledged, there were discussions on how best to 'shape' the evidence.

Blair is pushing for the quick resolution of the treaty in Europe, so that he can walk straight into the job of European President, which will carry immunity.
The job can still be in the creation stage, he just needs to be named and given European cover.

So what the hell is a senior member of the government doing giving interviews to Sky/BBC (the Labour Party Official Media conduits do still equal 'media' I trust), especially on matters as sensitive as this where he seems to be briefing against his own staff? About the only good news there seems to be that the CPS officer in charge of the case is still Carmen Dowd, who has been liaising with Yates since the inquiry began.
The SNP are a bunch of nasty shits. I wonder how much of their funding comes from well-healed Hollywood stars who love Scotland so much they don't live there.
It has all gone v. quiet on the Tory front. Taking a loan at an uncommercial rate of interest, undeclared, is a criminal offence. It's a matter of time before the focus shifts.
Not really bhownaggree. Your lot are in govt now. You've shot you bolt, as it were. Tory sleaze looks tame by comparison.
To the Labour defenders: maybe you're too young to remember the hysteria and moral outrage whipped up by NuLab over the 'brown envelope' saga, and that Blair promised to be 'whiter than white'.
Michael Howard was interviewed by Yates ONCE, Cameron has instructed Laidlaw to return to the UK, and MPs of all Parties have been using the HoC dining facilities to raise funds for years.
NuLab stinks of corruption, and nothing you lot say will change my mind on that.
Tory sleaze still looks worse to any objective analysis. At worst Labour have committed an offence many past governments have, i.e. the giving of peerages to large political donors. They haven't sunk quite to the disgraceful lows of Westland, cash for questions, a hereditary peerage for Thatcher's husband (for what - services to St. Andrews?), and the use of the police for political purposes (Miner's strike - note, since we've had a Labour government we've only had one episode of significant rioting, compare and contrast with the Tory years).
However, Hungarian rapper Speech has made me question the government's case for the liberation of Iraq: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Vaz9jW054
You have to pity the poor labour trolls. They really are desperate.
If Levy goes down - and there is little doubt he will - Blair and New Labour will stand condemned forever. It is not Levy who gave peerages but the PM.
However repulsive and stupid Thatcher may have been, she was never corrupt.
bhownagree:
Do you come here to re-enforce what a bunch of dim-witted wankers Nu-lab apologists are?
You argue like a child, throwing in random lies and irrelevances and you hope that it makes your point! FFS. But, when you are defending the indefensible, that's the sort of crap you have to use.
You could be a Labour MP with those skills.
Chris paul you fucking cock
most people here hate all politicians (justifiably so)not just new labour retards such as yourself, The idea of being governed by cameron and his coterie of old Etonian catemites fill me with a much dread as the prospect of seeing the Nappy soiling one getting the keys to number 10.

It is a known fact that socialist girls are well versed in the art of love making and kindred arts.
This story clearly illustrates the problem with political blogging, I think.
You have offered nothing new here, Guido. This is basically a hash of Sunday newspaper stories. Why bother?
bhownaggree is none other than Sion Simon MP. Didn't you lot know?
Most NuLab supporters on this blog seem to think that "every other party has sold peerages in the past" is a defence.
An understandable viewpoint and one that most people could understand as politicians have never been held in such low esteem as they are today.
The problem is, the most likely charges are going to be for attempting to pervert the course of justice....and I don't think that everyone else is doing it will be an acceptable defence in a criminal court.
Attempting to pervert the course of justice normally results in a sentence of several years (and not in a soft prison.) Just the sort of sentence to get a few canaries singing, perhaps?

I didn't but it certainly looks like it. Here's the slimer bigging up Bliar in November 2005:
Blair is not mad. On the rare occasions that I talk to him, I'm always amazed, given his outlandish lifestyle, how normal he is. He's not even particularly egotistical. Having a messianic sense of mission doesn't make you a bighead. In fact, a strong sense of vocation sits easily with the abnegation of ego. It also goes hand in hand with getting things done.

Brown faces pressure to reveal tax status of adviser Cohen
Gordon Brown will be pressed in parliament this week to reveal whether his most senior City advisor, Sir Ronald Cohen, claims non-domicile tax status.
A question tabled by the Liberal Democrats asking if Cohen benefits from a loophole which allows the super-rich to avoid tax on money earnt abroad comes as the International Monetary Fund has effectively branded Britain a tax haven.
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/politics/story/0,,2063060,00.html
Just to confirm, I am not Sion Simon MP.
I do not use the 'every other party has done it' line, except to point up the fact this practice is not confined to the current Labour government, but practically every government since Walpole.
Doesn't of course make it acceptable, and I stand behind the police attempts to follow up any reports of malpractice. But, this has become politicised, and for the resident Tories on the board another stick to beat the government with (whilst forgetting their record in government).
The other problem with the 'all MPs are crooks' argument (or all Labour MPs are crooks) is that it debases our actually on the whole decent constitution and gives creedance to the anti-democratic BNP and RESPECT.

bhownaggree,
To listen to you, anyone would think Nulab politicians are slightly grey, no worse than any other politician.But since Nulab has been in power you need a swallow a bucket of salt with every pronouncement. They have even coined a new word for deceit...its called spin.They have employed teams of spinners,even making out that the spinners have some sort of professionalism by calling them spin doctors. Doctors be damned, they are nothing more than deceivers, professional liers. This is the level to which Nulab has dragged politics. I believe a judge when talking about postal voting and Nulab described the evidence presented to him in a case about fraudulaent Nulab voting as 'worse than that of a banana republic'.How politically incorrect of him, but how right. ...and how dare you bhownaggree come out with that pompous crap this afternoon and expect people to believe that is your sincere view. Nulab is run by an immoral bunch of crooks, and I dream that Yates is allowed to present his case to prove they are crooks.
Spin however may prove different. The silly little piece of fluff representing the Times on the newspaper review on the BBCTV this morning tried to convince the viewers that cash for honours was a storm in a teacup.'So what' said she, 'if people wish to pay money to political parties just so the can give themselves funny titles, so what'. What she pretende was that she didn't realise that with the silly title came the right to vote on proposed legislation. Typical spin from Murdoch/BBC....silly bit of fluff expressing her opinion on a slly fuss about nothing...not even newsworthy really. Therefore it must be true,a storm in a teacup. That was pure spin...pure deceit....pure lies....as is Brown's pronouncements that he knew nothing of the selling of honours.....he just founf £18million under a stone to spend on Nulab's election campaign.don't know where it came from...probably from Tessa Jowell's husband. Now he's a good chap...no crook him!
bhownaggree, as your mum has repeatedly tod you, you are mixing in bad company and it will all end in tears.

What's been democratic about decades of mass immigration, Sli? What was democratic about the Iraq war and Bliar's services being pimped by Levy to rich businessmen?
To get to the top under the present system you have to be a liar and you have to pander to special interests with no interest whatsoever in democracy or what's best for the majority of people in the UK. Perfect examples: you and Bliar. If Respect and the BNP are doing well, the blame rests with scum like you.
imho a cover up equals a tory landslide..............

New Labour are leaking votes to the BNP on a massive scale, particularly in traditional working class consituencies.

Every Government since Walpole has not done this and it shows the depths to which cunts like you have plummed.
All Governments have given peerages to their supporters...but only Labour, that bunch of cunts, have given peerages in exchange for support, and that makes the fuckers the first Government to be crooked with peerages and they should go to jail.
If you can't understand the not so subtle difference then you truly are a son of Bliar and Labour...cunts all.
There are many Blair haters on the left who like to cite Iraq as the main reason for his unpopularity,and this includes much of the media.That may apply in their mainly metropolitan bubble.They are of course wrong.The really big one amongst the populace is immigration,immigration ,immigration.
Anyone know how Sion's reselection for Erdington is going? I plan to reveal myself after he has secured that.
