Another Loud Knock On Blair's Door.
Yesterday in the House of Commons Conservative leader David Cameron told Tony Blair it was time for him to quit, saying: "When is he going to realise it is all over?"
Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish Nationalists, the party that triggered the police inquiry into cash for peerages, gestured to Mr Blair that he would be put in handcuffs before long.
Last night Labour MPs were warning Blair that the Government was in danger of "falling apart" after police handling the investigation arrested Lord Levy over an alleged cover-up.
Today it emerged that the Prime Minister was interviewed last Friday for a second time, shortly before the arrest of Levy, and that the meeting was kept quiet, apparently at the request of the police, till today.
Although Blair was not interviewed under caution but as a witness, Alex Salmond’s handcuffs gesture was possibly closer to the mark than even he suspected yesterday.
