Labour's treasurer has revealed that he and other elected officials did not know the party had secretly borrowed millions of pounds last year.

Jack Dromey said he will investigate the issue with the party's general secretary and report next Tuesday. His comments follow a furore over three men recommended for peerages after lending Labour money. Unlike donations, loans do not have to be declared.

Mr Dromey said Downing Street had not shown enough respect for the party... Downing Street must have known before him about the loans - which amounted to "millions" of pounds, he said. [BBC]

Wait; the whole party has been acting like Tessa Jowell?

“Where did we get all this money, darling?”

“Oh, from the account with the people, for the thing. And the other stuff. I'm a top international businessman, you know.”

“I know, honey. Aren't we lucky.”
