This is about as outspoken as the BBC can go these days. Watch out for NuLabour education reforms abolishing inverted commas.

Being "cleared" by his own Permanent Secretary was an interesting twist, I thought. "Cleared" by the man he had misled in the first place! More like '1984' every day (war is peace, black is white etc.)
Mind, we all understand how it could happen, don't we? There's the £2 million gift, and the £2 million loan - anyone could get confused, happens all the time.
This "clearing" cannot be allowed to stand - there must be a proper enquiry, and whilst they're at it, they could look into whether someone who has given the Labour Party upwards of £13 million could perhaps have "bought" his ministership........... As you say Guido, can't see him being sacked in a reshuffle any day soon.
We do still have an Opposition, I believe - perhaps they might like to ask a few questions into this subject.
Theoligically speaking they can be saved if they repent, yes. If they don't, they die and go to hell.
Either way the bastards die, which was the main objective.

This is an extract from the HoL Code of Conduct:
The Code defines a “relevant interest” as: “The test of a relevant interest is whether the interest might reasonably be thought by the public to affect the way in which a member of the House of Lords discharges his or her parliamentary duties.”
David Sainsbury's entry in the register of interests states that all his financial interests and those of his wife were placed in a blind trust when he became a minister. To my mind, a loan to a political party constitutes a "relevant financial interest" so he would appear to be in breach of the Lords' Code and probably the Cabinet Office one for ministers too.
"Theoligically speaking they can be saved if they repent, yes. If they don't, they die and go to hell"
Guido, have you abandoned belief in Purgatory? As far as I'm aware, Benedict did not consign this to the theological dustbin along with Limbo. Lack of repentance may still, therefore, lead to Heaven, albeit the long route.

Even the BBC are using ironical quotation marks:
Minister 'cleared' over £2m loan

Can one 'save' Parliament by blowing it up?
If Guido once subscribed to this, do not the Mohammedans have a theologically tenable strategy?
Cranmer - It's a bit like 'saving' a chap's immortal soul by burning him at the stake. It works a treat, don't you know.
