A charged situation

Scotsman.com News - Politics - Three Blair allies set to face charges over cash for honours: "After nine months of investigation, during which they have interviewed at least 90 witnesses, the police believe they may have gathered enough evidence to support charging:

• Levy under the 1925 Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act, which outlaws the offer of honours in return for material gain;

• Levy for 'conspiracy to pervert the course of justice';

• Turner for perverting the course of justice, in relation to her behaviour during the police inquiry;

• Biotech tycoon Sir Christopher Evans, who lent Labour £1m in the run-up to the last election, with 'soliciting' an honour, under the terms of the 1925 legislation."



I can't see this story on the Guardian, BBC or Times sites at present - Sunday afternoon... and I have wondered/still wonder whether charges will actually be brought. We'll see...
