What did Gordon know?

The Rover debacle may be about to resurface and embarrass the beleaguered Gordon Brown. The "Phoenix Four" of John Towers, Peter Beale, John Edwards and Nick Stephenson were the scapegoat for the collapse of Rover just before the 2005 general election. I hear that they are now preparing a number of Freedom of Information requests so as to ascertain what the role of the Treasury was in the last days of Rover and what part Gordon Brown and his senior advisor Shriti Vadera may have played. Apparently there are rumoured to be some interesting emails that may help clear the names of the Phoenix Four and further sully that of Gordon Brown.

In theory the truth will out; but as ever when dealing with this Labour government that may not be the case.
