David Abrahams, wannabe, husband, father and Labour MP for Richmond, liar, litigant and criminal financier

The Northern Echo has the full story bt David Lloyd of the abortive bid by David Abraham (AKA David Martin) to be Labour candidate for Richmond in 1990 / 91 here .... Raising David .

Hilarious.

Elsewhere Matthew Parris is coruscatingly brilliant ..."New Labour, it seems, can't even cook its own books. They can't even co-ordinate a cover-up. They failed to find out fast enough what it was they had to cover up, failed to take the elementary precaution of reconciling their excuses, and failed to square their alibis. Talk of a piss-up in a brewery "

Marina Hyde reminds us , 17 of the 22 Labour donors who have given more than £100,000 since 2001, have received honours. Gosh.
