There simply aren't enough restaurants in Westminster. On Wednesday, the general secretary of the Labour party, Ray Collins, and his deputy were seen sitting down for a working lunch with former donor David Abrahams.
Abrahams was once so shy that he used friends and proxies to donate £380,000 to the Labour party.
The scandal saw many casualties – Collins' predecessor as general secretary, Peter Watt, being one of them.
But this week, the coy donor was sitting with the two highest officials in the Labour party with a piece of paper and a biro, scribbling frenetically – such a public appearance suggests the business was vanilla.
But whatever the nature, Abrahams looks as though he's getting stuck in to the runnings of the Labour ship.
