The plot thickens.
It seems that Government Minister, Lord Myners, knew all abour Goodwins £650,000 or so a year pension (capital value £16million) back in October.
Other members of the Government claimed they did not know anything and, whats more, Goodwin claims that Myners approved the pension and has refused the 'request' made today to voluntarily not take it.
There are hints that there will be more damaging revelations about the Government as well....
This is one report from a well connected journalist
