Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaekehia e Alastair Campbell, te rangatira o mua o Downing Street, nga kaitono o te Rōpū Mahi i te whakakore i nga takoha mai i a Tony Blair - me te whakatupato kia whakareri ratou mo tetahi atu kawanatanga Tory. Kua whakakahoretia kē e rua ngā kaitono a Mr Blair i muri i tana tuku i ngā tūru matua 106 £1,000 ia ki te whawhai i te pōtitanga. I whakapae a Mr Campbell i te ata nei ki nga kaitono he 'whaiwhai i te aro' me te uiui mehemea e hiahia ana ratou ki te wikitoria. Kua whakahe a Alastair Campbell i ngā kaitono o te Rōpū Mahi i te whakahē i te takoha £ 1,000 mai i a Tony Blair. I a ia e tuhi ana i runga i a Twitter, i kii ia: 'Ki nga kaitono e rapu ana i te aro ka paopao i te moni TB 1. He maha ake ngā tūru mahi i riro i a ia i ētahi atu 2. Kua utaina ngā Tories 3. E hiahia ana koe ki te wikitoria?' Na te karere i puta ai he riri riri mai i nga kaitohutohu mahi i kii i koa ratou i te hunga kaitono e paopao ana i te moni. Engari i whakahokia e Mr Campbell, e whakatūpato ana kia 'whakahau rātou i tētahi atu kāwanatanga Tory i tērā wā'. I puta ngā kōrero a Mr Campbell i muri i te kī a Lesley Brennan, kaitono o Dundee East, e kore tōna rohe pōti e whakaae ki te moni. I a ia e tuhi ana i runga i a Twitter, ka mea ia: 'I riro mai he koha mai i a Tony Blair. Ko te tikanga kia kaua e whakaae. I kōrerohia ki te kapa. Kāore a Dundee East e whakaae ki te £1000.' Kua whakakahoretia hoki e te kaitono o Northampton a Sally Keeble te moni. Ka mea ia: 'Kei te whakawhiwhia te £1,000 ki nga nohoanga matua <unk> ko matou tetahi o ratou. Kua tukuna atu e au he īmēra ki a rātau kia kī atu kāore mātou e whakaae.' Kua whakakahoretia e te minita o mua a Sally Keeble (māui) me te kaitono mahi i Dundee a Lesley Brennan (matau) te koha a Mr Blair. I uru a Mr Campbell ki tētahi pakanga ipurangi me ngā kaitohutohu mahi mō te koha a Mr Blair. I te whakapuakitanga o te takoha i te wiki kua hipa, i kii te kaikorero mo nga mahi mahi, he 'ngahau' te roopu i te mea i whakapau moni a Mr Blair ki te kaha ki te whakauru i a Ed Miliband ki Downing Street. I roto i tētahi reta ki ngā kaitono 106, ka mea a Mr Blair: 'I te tīmatanga o te tatau whakamuri ki ngā pōtitanga whānui, ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou kia...
Kua homai e Tony Blair neke atu i te £ 100,000 hei āwhina i te pakanga a Labour. I hoatu e te Pirimia o mua £ 1,000 ki ngā kaupapa ā-rohe i roto i ngā rohe pōti 106. I kii te kaitono o Dundee East a Lesley Brennan kaore ia e whakaae ki te moni. Kua whakakahoretia hoki e te kaitono o Northampton a Sally Keeble te koha. Kua whakaekea e Alastair Campbell ngā kaitono e paopao ana ki te moni a Mr Blair. I kīia e whakanui ana rātau i ngā tūponotanga o tētahi atu kāwanatanga Tory i Mei.
