BAE, corruption and more silence from the Conservatives

Time to dust off some of my previous blog postings about the Al Yamamah arms deal, because BAE and corruption allegations are back in the news – and once again it’s Ming Campbell and Vince Cable making all the political running, whilst the Conservatives stay silent. A touch of embarrassment over their own Saudi links by any chance?

With a bit of luck, we’ll even get another choice Tony Blair excuse as to why Labour’s changed its mind on Al Yamamah.

Read more by Mark Pack or more about al yamamah.

And as if by magic – there’s another story today in the Guardian with a Ming quote and nothing from the Conservatives.
