	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Profile: Labour treasurer Jack Dromey
		Jack Dromey, the Labour Party treasurer investigating secret loans to the party, has previously complained that "rich men are too influential at Downing Street".
		Treasurer since 2004, Mr Dromey has said he knew nothing about loans totalling millions of pounds made to the party in the run-up to the 2005 general election.
		Mr Dromey, who is married to Constitutional Affairs Minister Harriet Harman, is also deputy general secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU).

		Jack Dromey, the Labour Party treasurer who effectively accused the Prime Minister of running a secret funding operation after complaining that he had been left in the dark about loans from wealthy businessman, is an unlikely muck-raker.
		Mr Dromey and Miss Harman were in some senses even more New Labour than New Labour - provoking a huge row in the party in 1996 by sending their eldest son to St Olave's school - a popular selective grammar school.
		Mr Dromey, the elected party treasurer for the past two years, broke cover on Wednesday with a devastating attack on Downing Street for keeping him in the dark over millions of pounds' worth of loans from donors who were then swiftly nominated for peerages.

	Telegraph \| Opinion \| Dromey had every right to be angry
		Stoking the "cash-for-ermine" row, Jack Dromey has claimed that Number 10 kept the party "in the dark" about fund-raising and showed scant respect for democracy.
		The son of an Irish-born train driver, Mr Dromey sprang to national prominence between 1976 and 1978, when he led a bitter strike by mainly Asian workers for union recognition at the Grunwick film-processing plant in north London.
		It was, perhaps, not entirely a coincidence that Mr Dromey's attack came on the very afternoon that the public sector unions announced that the strike could be held as soon as March 28.

		The scene at the breakfast table of Jack Dromey and Harriet Harman on Sunday morning was not a happy one.
		Later on Monday Mr Dromey, by then seething, attended a regular meeting of the NEC officers committee which included the party chairman Ian McCartney, the deputy prime minister John Prescott and the relatively new party general secretary, Peter Watt.
		Mr Dromey's friends said the timing of his statement had been conditioned by what appeared in the Sunday newspapers.

	[No title]
		Jack Dromey is a proud and principled man. He has been close - but not always as close as he would like to be - to the top of the Labour reform project for a generation.
		And it doesn't surprise me one bit that the Labour treasurer reacted in the way he did to the loans for peerages scandal that has swept through the party this week.
		A man with Dromey's pride will have been outraged to be snubbed by a Labour johnny-come-lately like Lord Levy, who arranged these loans.

	House of Commons - Public Administration - Minutes of Evidence
		The preliminary comment is, we have argued for many years that we need, unions that represent public servants, a new mind set, whereby we see ourselves as not just the champion of our members' interests but also of the public interest.
		(Mr Dromey) If it was once true, and I agree with you, that the notion of railway servant is one that goes back for generations, that there was an army who saw themselves as railway servants, I have to say, that is no longer true now.
		(Mr Dromey) I think, crucially, that lessons have got to be learned about the collapse of morale on the part of the workforce; and one strand of a total solution has got to be what do you do about that, in practical terms.

	New Statesman - The media column - Peter Wilby finds too many papers lacking teeth
		So within hours of the Labour Party treasurer, Jack Dromey, going on TV to expose the "loans-for-honours" scandal, the papers were explaining the real story.
		Dromey did his best to look and sound like a man of principle who had decided, with a heavy heart, to tell the truth.
		True, the loans "broke the spirit of the law", but Dromey should have followed "the first rule" of trade unionism which, the Sun explained - drawing on all the authority that derives from printing at non-union Wapping - "is to stand by your mates even when they are in the wrong".

	New Statesman - NS Profile - Tony Woodley
		Woodley's principal opponent, Jack Dromey, has known for months that if he could not get rid of the Blairite tag that was rather unfairly attached to him, the election was lost.
		And what Dromey is thinking about, while on a brief escape to Ireland to lick his wounds, is whether to stand for election as Woodley's deputy.
		He was supported by Dromey, whose friends now muse that they may have laid the ground for their man's defeat by the enthusiasm with which they supported Woodley a year ago.

	Comment is free: Every dog - and Jack Dromey - has his day
		Jack Dromey is a proud and principled man. It doesn't surprise me that the Labour treasurer reacted in the way he did to the loans for peerages scandal.
		Somewhere in the back of Dromey's mind will have been the memory that he was passed over as Labour general secretary in 1995 in favour of Tom Sawyer, and as the New Labour nominee for a safe Labour seat in 1997 in favour of Yvette Cooper.
		So I say to Jack Dromey continue to make a stand for principles, stand up for the Labour Party and make a contribution in a debate to make British politics more transparent.

		Downing Street, shaken by the rise of the anti-establishment union "awkward squad", is watching the contest closely and is aware that overt support for a candidate would be the kiss of death.
		Mr Dromey, a TandG national organiser and husband of Harriet Harman, the solicitor-general, is playing up his radical credentials rather than any closeness to the Labour leadership.
		To the left of Mr Dromey, Mr Woodley was pivotal in saving the Birmingham Rover car plant when BMW pulled out and was at the forefront of the effort to persuade Ford to build Jaguar cars in Ellesmere Port.

		They were responding to Labour Party treasurer Jack Dromey's investigation into so-called 'secret' loans given to Labour at commercial rates in the run-up to the general election.
		Some Blairites believe that Dromey, who is seen as close to Gordon Brown, used the issue to weaken Blair in an attempt to speed up his resignation.
		Dromey's explosive statement last Wednesday that Number 10 had concealed from elected Labour officials the extent of the loans provoked the crisis which is now causing damage to the prime minister.

		Mr Dromey's intervention came hours before Mr Blair was forced to rely on Tory support to win the second reading of his flagship education bill, the first time he had been left dependent on the Tories.
		Mr Dromey's allies insisted he was genuinely livid, since he is legally and financially responsible for the party's finances.

	The Magic Money Pixie in the Sky - Topic Powered by eve community
		When Labour treasurer, Jack Dromey, looked at the Labour accounts (which I assume he did) presumably he saw a column of figures for Labour election expenses.
		The party was spending up to £20 million on the election, he must have known they had not got it, and if he did not ask where it was coming from, it can only have been because he preferred not to know.
		For the man in charge of the party's finances to avert his eyes from the source of 75% of the funds the party was spending and then bleat that no one told him about them is a pathetic abdication of responsibility.

		CHARLES Clarke yesterday blamed the loans for lordships crisis on Jack Dromey, the Labour treasurer who spilled the beans.
		The Home Secretary said Mr Dromey's claims he was kept in the dark about the party using cash from wealthy backers to fund the general election were wide of the mark.
		Mr Clarke also denied claims that Chancellor Gordon Brown urged Mr Dromey to blow the whistle on loans in a bid to pave the way for him to become PM earlier than expected.

		He faces a challenge from his right, in the shape of Jack Dromey, who has attacked Morris for daring to oppose Labour's 'modernisers' and for maintaining the union's independence from Blair on the question of Clause Four and the minimum wage.
		Jack Dromey, once a prominent figure on the trade union left, has long since abandoned the views which brought him to prominence as an organiser during the famous Grunwick recognition strike in north London in the late 1970s.
		Dromey, on the other hand, was prepared to settle from the outset within Tory pay guidelines.

		Jack Dromey, national organiser of the TGWU, said it was ``immoral`` for councils to intimidate low-paid workers who would be striking in protest at a 3% pay offer.
		Mr Dromey said a ``bullywatch survey`` by the TGWU had shown that council workers were being threatened with privatisation, followed by pay cuts; widespread redundancies; dismissal; disciplinary action against anyone speaking to the local media, and cuts in pensions for older workers.
		Mr Dromey said: ``It is immoral for Council`s to intimidate low-paid workers.

	Obsolete: Loans and terror.
		Yes, apparently Blunkett thinks that Jack Dromey was stabbing Blair in the back, as part of some attempted coup which was meant to lead Gordon Brown to the leadership as quickly as possible.
		Dromey was furious because he had been kept in the dark; he didn't inquire because he felt that those higher up were playing fair.
		The smearing of Dromey as incompetent is reminiscent of the way that David Kelly was described as a 'Walter Mitty' type fantasist during the 45-minute furore which led to his death and the Hutton iniqury.

		Dromey said he had not seen any evidence to suggest the loans were given in exchange for peerages and did not know whether Blair was involved in the decision to accept the money.

		These loans, apparently received without the knowledge of party treasurer Jack Dromey — or even John Prescott and Gordon Brown it seems — were granted secretly by wealthy backers before the general election.
		It is small wonder that Jack Dromey was so angry when he got wind of the loans and went public in his demand for an inquiry by the Electoral Commission.
		Jack’s public statement sparked off a frenzy in the media as well as anger in the party and, inevitably, a debate about how party politics should be funded in the future.
