Blair questioned in honours probe

BBC NEWS | News Front Page: "Prime Minister Tony Blair has been interviewed by police investigating allegations of cash for honours."

Good. Hope that they are staying serious - because on the face of it he looks as though he has a case to answer.

Nick Robinson gives the spin that because he wasn't under caution, it is unlikely he will ever be charged.

"That is a key point - because if the police had any suspicion that Tony Blair might in the end have charges brought against him, they would be under a legal obligation to caution him (i.e. to read out the traditional caution that anything that he said might be used in evidence against him)."

I hope this doesn't mean the cops are going to be soft on him.

Full marks still to Angus McNeil MP for getting this out in the open, so far as it is already anyway.
