The Sunday Times claims up to 10 Labour officials knew about the donations. Never Never ever

Donorgate: 10 Labour bosses knew

THE property developer at the centre of Labour’s donor scandal has claimed that there are 10 party officials who were aware of his “illegal” arrangement to fund it secretly.

The details will be passed to the Metropolitan police, who are now investigating how more than £600,000 was paid by the developer to Labour through intermediaries.

The list includes two senior members of Gordon Brown’s party and government: David Triesman, the minister for intellectual property, and Jon Mendelsohn, Labour’s chief fundraiser.

Yesterday David Abrahams, the secret donor, issued a statement detailing precisely his claims that Mendelsohn knew about the arrangement eight months ago. It challenges Mendelsohn’s statement that he did not find out until September.
