London - (Whitewash): Jack Straw's desperate bid to abolish the House of Lords to save his sordid, corrupt ass was dealt a death blow today.
A secret bipartisan House of Lords cabal has vowed to shaft the disgraceful Opus Dei appeasement artist and dump him in the sewage of his preposterous cover-up machine.
Straw has been widely reported this weekend as sanctioning a covert deal that would see Jon Venables locked up for a token stretch.
In exchange all current serious charges will never come to court and the nation will be spared learning the heavily censored original child murder trial evidence about Venables and Thompson DNA backgrounds
Straw has long feared that far too many in the Upper House know the dire facts of the case which the Blair government had once predicted would never, ever re-emerge into the public domain.
Playing his trump card this weekend the Justice Secretary said abolition of the Lords was a logical step in an enlightened, mature democracy.
"Bollox to that," a source very close to My Noble Lord commented today.
Peter Mandelson's life support equipment is on its last legs.
