Independent on Sunday: police call in Audit Commission to investigate Abrahams planning application after talking to Chris Huhne December 9, 2007
Posted by in : Media , comments closedThere are about five days left to go in this leadership election, and the party is split in two – between those who are calling for a longer election, and those who’d like the whole thing to be over now!
A look at Google News suggests the Sunday papers fall in to the latter category. They haven’t commented much on the leadership election, but Chris has popped up in a few places.
Today’s Independent on Sunday says:
Durham Police last week opened talks with the Audit Commission, the spending watchdog, over the circumstances under which the scheme was granted planning permission, after a lengthy meeting with Liberal Democrat leadership contender Chris Huhne.
Chris has made an appearance in the letters page of Scotland’s Sunday Herald:
Constitutional commissions for Scotland are suddenly in fashion. In the past 10 days, three leading politicians – Wendy Alexander, Chris Huhne and Annabel Goldie – have called for some kind of commission to be set up. They are not alone.
In Wales on Sunday, Chris has become the benchmark of a politician with media presence!
No-one has demanded Mr Hain’s resignation. Not even Chris Huhne, the publicity-hungry candidate for the Lib Dem leadership. Only some of the more excitable members of the blogging world have demanded he quit.
Five days to go…
