I can hardly believe what I'm hearing on the news today ...Slave suspects arrested and now Paul Flowers, the former chairman of the Co-op Bank has been arrested in Merseyside in connection with a "drugs supply investigation".

Paul Flowers, 63, was filmed allegedly handing over £300 for cocaine and discussing buying other illegal drugs.

Following the revelations he was suspended from both the Methodist Church, where he was a minister in Bradford, and the Labour Party.

He left his position as deputy chairman of the Co-op Group in June.

In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: "Officers have... arrested a 63-year-old man in the Merseyside area in connection with an ongoing drugs supply investigation. He has been taken to a police station in West Yorkshire where detectives will continue their enquiries."

The BBC learned that Mr Flowers resigned from the Co-op Group amid concerns about his expenses.

Our business editor Robert Peston says he stepped down after being confronted with a dossier of his "lavish claims", compiled by the then chairman Len Wardle.

Dunno what my 88 year old mother will think about it all - she's benefited from Co-op divvy for eons... <whistles>

The drugs and porn are probably par for the course at that level in banking but he had no idea about the size of the bank's balance sheet that he was chairman of - unbelievable <doh>
