I’ve been on their case for a long, long time
From June 10th 2011, the Daily Telegraph ran an investigative series alleging that Ed Balls was Gordon Brown’s main supporter in the process of blackmailing Prime Minister Tony Blair into resignation.
Although The Slog never identified Balls as the main player in the plot, I carried out an extensive investigation during 2009 and 2010 into exactly when the blackmail threat was delivered, and what it was most likely to have been about. In particular, I suggested that – as a provisioner of secret dirt on Blair’s alleged self-enrichment – Jack Straw was probably heavily involved in providing the ammunition.
The new Telegraph revelations confirm The Slog’s plot coverage in many details, but still leave out the biggest question of all: what was the subject of the blackmail?
In this specially assembled archive, we revisit those articles – and provide readers with an indepth background to what happened during the murky days of 2005 and 2006.
