The name of the new Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has now been announced. It will be Sir Ian Kennedy.
A distinguished civil servant perhaps, and academic, accountant or lawyer?
No, whatever other qualifications he possess, it is his nearness to the Labour Party which causes concern. He is a close friend of Alastair Campbell, and one who has mixed with Blair, and who was intended to be a government adviser shortly.
So there's no surprise there, then. It will be interesting to see which parts of Sir Christoper Kelly's recommendations he unpicks.
