David Abrahams has murdered sleep ...

Sorry this is late; Westmonster's got a problem in her ... Actually, no. You don't want to know.
Harriet Harman clings on to power after it is revealed that she accepted £5,000 through an intermediary of David Abrahams. But for how long?
Last night, and using no lesser ~~mortal~~ divinity than Paxo as a conduit for his side of the story, Abrahams phoned into Newsnight with his musings on his role in the latest scandal to engulf the comrades. Needless to say, his recollections were all distinctly unhelpful to the Gord and Harriet Harman, and Guido has the transcript here.
Labour Party fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn is drawn into the row as questions are asked as to what he knew about and when.
Dizzy's on a quest to find an appropriate name for the scandal.

Ben Brogan predicts another (yes, another!) police inquiry into the Labour Party funding arrangements! Woohoo! Westmonster was so missing the last one.
But whither Jack Dromey? Mr Harriet Harman is also the Labour Party treasurer whose Shock And Outrage over loans-for-lordships assisted the police in accelerating their investigation into the comrades. And yet, he's suspiciously quiet on this one ...
And Boris - always a man with his hand on the political pulse - reports that he's met Vanessa Feltz. There are jokes to be made about them both looking reasonably similar from behind but they are probably cruel ones and best not said. Oh, wait.
