Osborne Admits “Mistake”

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne has said he “made a mistake” in his handling of meetings in Corfu with a Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska.

He told the BBC: “To be honest this didn’t look very good and that’s something I regret.”

Osborne told The World at One: “I think the real judgment is can you learn from mistakes you make. I have changed the way that I am going to operate when it comes to fundraising and I will not discuss individual donations with individual donors.

“That, I think, is an appropriate thing for me to do.”

In the meantime, the Conservatives are continuing to urge business secretary Peter Mandelson to fully disclose his dealings with the Russian oligarch.
