Only yesterday, Tom Watson raised an interesting query about David Cameron’s entry on the parliamentary register of member’s interests. What Tom noted was this rather curious entry: To facilitate my travel in my capacity as Leader of the Opposition since December 2005 I have received helicopter and private […]

My oh my, while researching the background to Flying Lion Ltd/Con Air 1, I appear to have stumbled across something very interesting. One the Electoral Commission’s website, the entry on register of donations to regulated donees for a very senior Conservative politician includes three overseas visits where the […]

After a little mild prompting from Tom Watson, one or two bloggers have happily picked up the trail of Flying Lion Limited, a Bermuda registered company with, seemingly, one major asset – a Dassault Falcon F900EX executive jet, registration number VP-BMS, otherwise known to several Labour bloggers as […]

I see that Sam Coates – of Tory Home – appears to be wandering around the blogosphere and making ‘It’s not true’ comments in response to the Indy’s gossipy remarks about the speculation that Tim Mongomerie and Nadine Dorries may have been playing hide the sausage on the […]
