Funding scandals hit every party. It seems that politicians leave their ethics and scruples at the door when they enter the corridors of government and get giddy with power.

This particular funding scandal is made worse by its timing. The Conservatives had entered the weekend completely immersed in the Google Page Ranking disaster of a budget perceived to be favouring their "friends in the city" at the expense of pensioners. Their diversionary tactic had been to rush out some nonsense announcement on Friday about minimum alcohol pricing, a policy they haven't started to think through, but which would be guaranteed to swamp the weekend headlines.

Instead, they get their party treasurer sounding like Delboy.

Complete Google Page Ranking disaster!
