Tony Blair is "very pleased" the cash-for-honours inquiry is over, as police
probe its cost and length.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the police for their
hard work, diligence and decency".
The words of the Labour Party General Secretary Peter Watt. Others
aren't feeling quite so warm spirited about an enquiry that went on for
16 months, cost a million pounds, threatened to bring down a government,
(was that the aim) and ends with what, no charges!
Last night the BBC broke the story that no-one would be prosecuted in
the Cash for Honours investigation. Today, with that confirmation, came
many many questions.
Was it, as some claim, a political stunt by the SNP?
Why did police drag it out for so long if evidence was so scant?
Was the decision by the CPS not to prosecute the right one?
Where does this leave party funding, and indeed party reputations going
forward?
