Labour suspends three ex-ministers over lobbying claims
Three ex-ministers have been suspended from the parliamentary Labour Party pending a probe into claims they were prepared to lobby ministers for cash.
Stephen Byers, Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon were secretly filmed as part of an investigation by the Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches.
All three deny any wrongdoing and Mr Byers has referred himself for a parliamentary standards inquiry.
Gordon Brown has dismissed calls for an inquiry by the top UK civil servant.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
