		Mr McLeish was forced to resign as first minister last year over the "officegate" affair, when it was discovered he had been sub-letting his Glenrothes constituency office to a number of organisations while claiming full Westminster allowances as MP for Central Fife.
		The political career of Scotland's former first minister Henry McLeish appears to be in tatters after Labour officials refused to endorse his reselection as a candidate for the Scottish parliament.
		This weekend, police in Fife confirmed they are widening their inquiry into Mr McLeish's office expenses to look at the Third Age, a charity for the elderly, which was one of the organisations to rent space in his Glenrothes Office.
