Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your computer, up crops Tony Blair with his blood money.
He wants to help get rid of the Tories (cos he's a nice guy like that) by giving a grand to each of Labour's 106 target seats. 106,000 big ones is a lot of money.
Having said that, for someone who's gone to great lengths to ensure no-one really knows how much they're really worth, it's safe to say he can probably afford it.
It's probably all legit, of course... it's not like he's a potential war criminal, who's made a killing advising investment bankers and various dodgy regimes and human rights abusers, is it?
Why would you even take that sort of money? As it stands, only 2 of the 106 target Labour candidates have said no ta to the donation.
Chatham and Ayelsford is the only Medway seat on Labour's target list. So I tweeted their candidate, Tristan Osborne.
So far no response. Come on Tris, be the change!
