I trust you will also post links to my two pieces for them to judge for themselves.<br /><br />My work revealed that Euan Blair is working in Coventry, it names the firm, and it reveals the firm's links with Cherie Blair. I also quote solid sources very close to Geoffrey Robinson's office who are adamant that the Blairs made approaches to the MP, urging Euan's involvement in the constituency. I quote the MP denying this to me, and his denials over rumours in Guido Fawkes, and locally, that Euan had attended constituency meetings, and was being lined up for the seat.<br /><br />My work is careful to establish what is fact and what is non-evidence-based speculation, claim and counter-claim.<br /><br />Your recklessly infactual rant reminds us of the absurdity of Leveson's hopes of imposing more restrictions on newspapers in the digital age.Les Reidnoreply@blogger.com
