Miliband honours questions

Miliband in cash for gongs quiz.

South Shields MP and Cabinet Minister David Miliband found himself caught up in the cash for honours melee today, and is pictured praying that his bid for the future Premiership hasn't suffered.

The Communities and Local Government Minister was named by Des Smith, the headteacher at the centre of the row, in a conversation with an undercover reporter.

The Harry Potteresque politician was reported to have accepted 50p. in exchange for his Blue Peter badge on the acceptance of the condition that the recipient could no longer gain a free entry to the Sea Life Centre. A replica Golden Snitch would cost at least a quid said the MP. These tokens are generally accepted to be highly collectable amongst the throngs of affluent businessmen wishing to sponsor city academy schools. Mr. Dumbledore Gates, the proud sponsor of an inner London academy of wizardry was almost ecstaticly proud that his "sponsorship" had almost "bought" the school, but was adamant that the deal would not be complete until he had been awarded an honour from the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's spokesman said that the awarding of magic wands or homing owls were no longer within the PM's gift. "Best go and see Miliband", he said, "he's the only magician around here".
