Following the arrest and later release yesterday of Lord Levy, in connection with the 'cash for peerages' inquiry, Yates of the Yard has been updating the Commons Public Administration Committee on the inquiry's progress.
He categorically denied that Levy's arrest had been in any way 'theatrical' or 'symbolic' – a suggestion made by certain Labour MPs, including David Blunkett on Channel 4 News last night. The suggestion is a bit rich coming from a member of the party whose leader must be the most theatrical ever to tread the boards of the Commons.
We eagerly await the next Act in this drama, to see if Lord Levy's high profile tennis partner is next to receive a knock on the door. As SNP leader Alex Salmond nicely put it: "the water is now lapping around the prime minister's feet".
