Around Lord Levy's table

Peter Oborne (London, Daily Mail): Anthony thank you for the post about Aitken, Ashcroft and Levy. I have been a political journalist for fifteen years, and have never once heard of regular Friday night dinners thrown by Lord Levy. So why does Ian Katz calls them "famous"? My guess is that Katz is using this misleading language to make it seem natural that as a reporter he should attend. It also obscures the fact that, far from being famous, these were not just private dinner parties they were secretive occasions to bind the corporate and political elite to the Blair regime. Katz nonetheless attended one. I hope - as a Guardian journalist who believes in openness and transparency - Katz will now furnish us with the names of all those who were there on the occasions he went including the high court judge and PFI tycoon present with the head of the Met.
