Will two other Labour General Secretaries be in trouble?

By | Tue 27th November 2007 - 5:02 pm

One of the interesting angles to emerge today in the Labour donations story is that Peter Watt is in fact the third General Secretary to have been in post when donations were received via other people from David Abrahams.

Janet Dunn, Janet Kidd and Ray Ruddick all gave £25,000 whilst David Triesman (now in the House of Lords as Baron Triesman of Tottenham) was Labour General Secretary, with £65,000 coming from John McCarthy and £12,000 from Janet Kidd whilst Matt Carter was Labour General Secretary. (Source: BBC)

    Don’t implicate Lord Triesman too much – he is one of the few decent minister Labour have got!
