NEW LABOUR SLEAZE ROW! WHAT'S BROWN DOING ABOUT IT?

The Labour Party is at the centre of a new sleaze row after it emerged that
a Muslim businessman used a "front" organisation to make secret donations to
the party. This is the first sleaze issue to be investigated with Gordon
Brown as Prime Minister.

The Electoral Commission is investigating a group known as the "Muslim
Friends of Labour", which donated £100,000 each month between April and June
this year.

A Glasgow-based man is alleged to have given large sums of money to the
Muslim organisation, but his identity was withheld as he was not donating
directly to a political party. At one time, the Muslim organisation had
given only small amounts to Labour, but now it is the second-biggest donor
which is not a union.

The Muslim organisation has a PO Box in South London is classed as an
"unincorporated" organisation, which means it can keep the identities of
donors secret, but the Electoral Commission is investigating the status of
the organisation amid allegations that it is a member's association,
consisting "wholly or largely" of members of a political party.

If this were the case, then it would be flouting the law by not disclosing
details of those who donate more than £5,000.
Labour officials have repeatedly condemned other parties for accepting cash                                
from unincorporated associations.

What favours have been promised or returned by Labour to Islamic business moguls for the
£300,000 generous donation? Let's trust some investigative journalist out
there can provide the answers.
