Cruddas’s revenge

Roll up, roll up, Cameron-bashers everywhere. Peter Cruddas is planning to blow some of the £180,000 he won in libel damages against the Sunday Times with a ‘Victory Party’ at his City offices on 17 September. Cruddas was falsely accused of charging donors for access to Number 10, and he’s somewhat piqued at having got naff-all help from Dave when the story broke.

This is a ‘thank you for standing by me party’ and it promises to feature in the book that Cruddas is writing about his bust-up with Downing St. The invitation warns:

‘You might be asked some questions by a ghost writer who will be in the audience. You do not have to answer any questions and you do not have to give anybody your name and details unless you want to. It is your choice.’

The event will be filmed by Cruddas ‘for my own personal records’.
