Wonder how much that seat cost?
The Mirror's video content has pointed something of interest out this morning. Is that David Abrahams sitting in the front row at Blair's final farewall consitituency speech in Sedgefield on the day he left Downing Street? An invite only event for family, friends, close activists, colleagues and donors?
Why yes it is!

Funny how nobody wheeled out by Labour Party/NEC yesterday would admit to knowing who he was, nor how he gets the "best" seat in the house.
Someone on Guido's blog pointed out an interesting slip of the tongue by Jack Straw, who referred to Abrahams as 'Dave'. Considering that Straw doesn't recall meeting him, and that everyone else is calling him 'David', you have to wonder how this lapsus linguae occurred.
Do you think there's a possibility that Mr Straw might have told, in Churchill's phrase, a 'terminological inexactitude'?
I clearly recall that Blair's farewell speech required people to be bussed in from all over Britain/ There was one black woman who seemed to crop-up at svereal Nulab Photo opportunities over recent years who supposidly came from Newham. Quite remarkable since the North East is overwhlemingly white.
Actually I was looking but I couldn't see T.Dan Smith neither could I see Alderman Andrew Cunningham in the audience
You have to say it though that where corruption and graft are concerned, its neck and neck between the Labour parties in the North East and the Labour party in Lanarkshire though to be fair to the North East Labour Party, they don't seem to have taken on religeon is such a big way
Well spotted, it was all over the telly last night. The mystery is how a secretive donor who didn't reveal his ID came to be invited to so prestigious a do.
Yet Brown claims today that he cannot recall meeting the man.
(Which IS NOT a categorical denial that he did.)
Small point of pedantry... the Sedgefield speech was not on the day Blair left Downing St (well he did of course leave Downing Street to get there, but it wasn't the day he *left* Downing Street). It was a few weeks before when he used the speech to announce when he would leave office.
