The wheels are well and truly off the Labour trolley.Just when Gordon thought it couldn't get any worse, Labour party general secretary, Peter Watt, has resigned, following revelations in yesterday's Mail on Sunday that a Tyneside property developer, David Abrahams, had donated more than £400,000 to the party incognito, using business associates as fronts. That is a practice prohibited by law.
Tendering his resignation, Mr Watt said he was aware that Mr Abrahams was the donor, but was unaware that there were “additional reporting requirements”.
If that is indeed the case, then Mr Watt, who was no doubt paid a very large salary indeed by the Labour party specifically to be aware of such matters, was quite right to resign, since he clearly wasn't up to the job.
However, Mr Watt can't have been the only Labour party official who was aware that Mr Abrahams was making the donations and that they had not been properly recorded. Those individuals must still be in place.
What, we must ask, is Gordon going to do about them?

There speaks a bloody good lawyer.
To the point and 100% correct in all that was posted!
The jury without doubt would find the buggers guilty as charged!
The sentance should fit the crime.

I think sir, that Gordon will do bugger all with them, it is not his style to hold them to account.
He to , must surely know about the identity of donors that give that amount of cash to grease their way into the party good books.
Am I correct?
They will be blaming Blunkett next for it all!
This goes to the top, no doubt about it.
Mind you that poor builder yesterday, he story was a laugh, he did not mince his words what he thought about the Labour party.
Do not know about wheels coming off, they seem to be loosing their marbles at the same time.
What a shower!
Gordon Brown keeps going about some thing called bona fidee, what does that mean ??
