George Osborne has committed a crime
Denis MacShane, the Labour MP, told the BBC: "We passed a law in the year 2000 which says, and I read, "a person commits an offence" and as I say he's committed a crime, "if he does any act likely to facilitate the making of a donation to a registered party by any person other than a permissible donor" and this Russian gentleman is not a permissible donor.
"Now we have people saying this happened and we have Mr Osborne refusing to answer legitimate journalists' questions and David Cameron now is covering up for Mr Osborne. It's actually David Cameron's judgement that is in question and in the past we've had accusations about Tony Blair and loans, we had accusations against Peter Hain and he lost his cabinet job. The authorities now with this allegations about a breach of the law, I think have to investigate this fully or Mr Cameron has to decide ... [whether] he will oblige George Osborne to make full disclosure instead of yesterday Mr Osborne refusing to answer legitimate questions."
