Tony Blair's 同盟（する）s last night 危険d stoking 労働 分割s by 告発する／非難するing Gordon Brown of mishandling his 返答 to the secret 寄付s スキャンダル.

Simmering 緊張s between the 総理大臣 and his 前任者 burst to the surface に引き続いて （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that 労働 lawyers 認可するd a 隠しだてする cash-raising 計画／陰謀.

Mr Brown, who 直面するs becoming only the second serving 首相 to be interviewed by police in a 犯罪の 調査, is 猛烈に trying to pull his 行政 out of a nosedive.

His 投票 ratings are in tatters after a month of 災害s 最高潮に達するing in the 発覚 that 労働 broke 選挙 法律 by 受託するing more than £650,000 from 所有物／資産／財産 developer David Abrahams.

Mr Brown's 同盟（する）s （人命などを）奪う，主張する that he had no knowledge of a 計画／陰謀 for using intermediaries to channel the cash to 労働 that was 始める，決める up in 2003 when Mr Blair was still leader.

But last night Matthew Taylor, Mr Blair's 長，率いる of 戦略 in 負かす／撃墜するing Street, branded Mr Brown's 試みる／企てるs to deflect the 非難する as "inept".

In an inteview for the 後見人, he said: "It was not 不公平な but inept, inasmuch it doesn't look 特に attractive if you are going around trying to 転換 責任／義務."

As one of the "keepers of the 炎上", Mr Taylor is a 重要な member of Mr Blair's 禁止（する）d of 現体制支持者／忠臣s who have been considering their 返答 to Mr Brown's troubles.

They are understood to be alarmed by the 規模 of the 総理大臣's 崩壊（する） and 恐れる he will be unable to turn things around in time to を回避する a 敗北・負かす at the next 総選挙.

With the mood の中で 労働 MPs 述べるd as "壊れやすい" by one 閣僚 大臣, Blairite former 大臣s have been 警告するd to keep 静かな or 直面する 告訴，告発s of destabilising the party.

Mr Brown is at the mercy of その上の 発覚s in the いわゆる donorgate スキャンダル に引き続いて （人命などを）奪う，主張するs yesterday that the 支払い（額）s from Mr Abrahams were arranged by two-middle 最高位の 労働 公式の／役人s with the approal of the party's lawyers.

A 報告（する）／憶測 in the 後見人 newspaper 述べるd how an 協定 was 始める，決める up in 2003 to 偉業／利用する a "（法などの）抜け穴" in 選挙 法律 that would 許す 寄付s from Mr Abrahams to be 隠すd.

It was （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that a number of covenants were drawn up by the Newcastle solicitor John McCarthy - one of the intermediaries used to make 寄付s - with the 十分な knowledge of 労働 公式の／役人s.

Two 無名の 従業員s of the party based in London are said to have overseen the 過程.

Crucially the 報告（する）／憶測 （人命などを）奪う，主張するs they 協議するd 労働 lawyers and "other 上級の party members", 明らかに blowing a 穴を開ける in （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that only former general 長官 general Peter ワット - who 辞職するd last week - knew about it.

労働 辞退するd to comment on the （人命などを）奪う，主張するs. Tory sources said they were 潜在的に "破滅的な" but that there was "a degree of 不確定" about them.

Mr Brown has 認める the 寄付s were made unlawfully, and until now there has been little 疑問 that 法律制定 introduced by 労働 in 2000 禁止（する）s 匿名の／不明の third-party 寄付s.

The suggestion that 労働 lawyers may have been 伴う／関わるd in 認可するing a 計画／陰謀 to disguise the true source of 寄付s is 特に 損失ing.
