THE Sunday Times can reveal details of a ‘jail party’ organized by Tony Blair when the Sunday Times exposed an alleged plot by his gang to subvert the police inquiry into the cash for honours scandal.

Sources have revealed that Lord Levy asked ruth turner to lie to police by telling detectives he had no involvement in the honours system.

She went one better and drew up what she believed was a more “credible” strategy.

She allegedly said they should claim Levy was asked for “advice” and “character references” about potential peers. Police believe this might also be misleading because his input was far more significant.

Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair’s chief of staff, was present at a meeting last summer when the alleged cover-up was discussed. He will be reinterviewed under caution shortly.

Detectives have recently obtained a new document that is said to be “as damaging” as the Turner memo outlining the “cover-up” strategy.

Police are also understood to be bullish that Sir Christopher Evans will be charged with breaching the Honours Act amid allegations that he attempted to procure a peerage.

Blair told them, at the party, that they should keep their mouths shut and do their time for the Labour Party and the country.

“Think of Britain, “ he said.

Levy got sick at this stage as he said he was Israeli.

Blair also said they should get in touch with the Adams brothers when they get inside and just mention his name.

“The job will then be sound,“ he said.
