Today’s news is dominated by allegations that Gideon Osborne, Shadow Chancellor, sought to gain a donation from Russia’s richest man. There were 2 good pieces, from Robert Peston and Nick Robinson today on the subject.
Nick raises some interesting questions in his article. Such as did Osborne think that his rich chums would keep their mouths shut even while he was spilling the so-called beans on Mandelson? Either that, or he is either not very bright or has poor judgement and is possibly arrogant. Now, i do not think for one second that he is not a very intelligent chap. That makes it worse for me.
Although Cameron may have wobbled a little during the new Brown bounce, it is Osborne who has seemed to me to be out of his depth. Could the Tories throw the next election away? Is it 1992 all over again?
What do you think?
Did you see the Tories are blaming Labour? That well known socialist family, the Rothschilds!
What about your friend, Mandelson?
Mandelson was not trying to raise funds for the Labour Party though!
Tories getting proper scrutiny!!! Shocker!
