Paper trail leads to Blair

According to this morning's Daily Telegraph, the Police have discovered a hand written note by Blair in the "cash for honours" investigation which means there is, for the first time, a paper trail leading directly to him. The last line of the article says,
"Last night, No 10 denied the existence of an incriminating document written by the Prime Minister."
In the word, I think, of Sir Humphrey. Never believe anything until its been officially denied.

I also ran with this on my blog, very very early this morning. The contents of the note so far disclosed tell us nothing we did not already know, and are therefore no smoking gun.

With every new revelation, it's getting to look more and more like Watergate. They usually don't go after PMs, the Bill. What actually went wrong?

So it wasn't a draft of his resignation letter then?

Actually it was Bismarck...

One of my more secretive customers has got hold of a copy of the document, so I've posted it in Curly's Corner Shop.

As I recall the article refered to a typed document on which the young war criminal had hand written comments.

So both the aricle and the denial could be true: Sir Humphrey is alive and well.
