Key No 10 aide arrested in honours inquiry | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics: "The 'cash-for-honours' inquiry took a dramatic new twist today as a key Downing Street aide was arrested by police.
Ruth Turner, director of government relations, was arrested at her home in London under the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 and also on suspicion of perverting the course of justice."
(also in The Times, Senior Blair adviser arrested in cash-for-honours probe - Britain - Times Online which has that worried looking face in it! Ooops!)
Perhaps significant, and still a surprise. PTCOJ is never a trivial charge, if applied. I remain sceptical that anyone will be charged, and more so that anyone will be convicted.
