The £2.4 million question that won't go away
A very interesting post in Iain Dale's Diary which rather undermines the Fibs saying Michael Brown no longer has anything to do with them.
Old Porridge wonders how they'll answer this little one when it comes up in future interviews. Particular Mr Ed Davey who's taken up a peculiar interest in other parties funding arrangements.

Brown Scandal Returns to Haunt LibDems
If the LibDems thought that the Michael Brown scandal had gone away this morning's Times will have given them a jolt. A pensioner is claiming that the £155,000 he gave to Michael Brown to invest for him, actually ended up in LibDem coffers. It has also emerged that the LibDems' second biggest donor, Paul Strasburger, is funding Michael Brown's legal fees. The stories are HERE and HERE. Meanwhile the Electoral Commission investigation into the admissability of Brown's loan awaits the verdict of the City of London Police.Not, of course, that this has anything to do with the LibDems at all. No, Sirree. Never let it be said. Whiter than white. Yellower than yellow [enough - ed].
