Nutsgate - The Plot Thickens

Another prominent Tory is drawn into the controversy over donations from the backers of Nuts TV

Michael Gove always looked on shaky ground after his comments about the lads magazine Nuts and the end of civilisation. It later turned out that Gove had taken money from a company called Red Fig, one of the backers of Nuts TV, the magazine's broadcast oulet.

Now it seems that shadow arts minister Ed Vaizey took £1,500 from Red Fig in thr run-up to the last election. Naughty, naughty.

Good work from Recess Monkey on this one, which broke both stories.
