Chaytor plea bargains, Woolas loses appeall
former Bury Labour MP David Chaytor pleads guilty to false accounting and will Be sentenced on I think 7th January, by which time the by-election writ will probably have been moved for Old and Sad, as Phil Woolas has lost his appeal. Harriet,now is the time for your tears, not then. Chaytor has undoubtedly plea bargained to avoid a big set-piece trial. But not looking good is it boys? Happy now?

Will he be sentenced by the Magistrates, or sent "up the road" to the Crown Court? The latter can impose heavier penalties.
Looks. Crap.
The maximum he could have got was seven years. I suspect he may have pleaded guilty to avoid a custodial - or to just get a couple of months. No matter the length of time. He is finished entirely and will never, ever, work again. He is not a 'favorued son' such as Jeffrey Archer or Jonathan Aitken. He was a lowly backbencher with no big gun party friends.
So: not a consultant for KPMG like the renter of porn videos on expenses, and renter of sister's spare room as main house then?
Stand up Jacqui -- welcome to the loot!!
