DPF is reporting the goss as it happens. His first snippet is that Glenn has fingered Mike Williams as "having agreed helping Peters would help Labour". Glenn's also said that he got a "personal phone call" from Mr Peters asking for money.
The Herald has its first story here.
Stuff says "Monaco-based billionaire Owen Glenn this afternoon told Parliament's privileges committee he was "absolutely certain" Winston Peters solicited assistance from him personally."
Larry Williams on Newstalk ZB is all over this, and calling for Peters to resign and for the PM to call an election - listen live here.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE @ 4.50PM - Stuff has a full summary of Glenn's evidence. Matthew Hooten has blogged as well on the Glenn "bombshell" saying "There now seems little doubt that the Owen Glenn donations were orchestrated by the highest level of the Labour Party." - and you know who that is!

The Hive has a fantastic running commentary going - post after post.
Great stuff from a source inside the beltway.

SMTC - there's so much flying around, it's hard to keep up with!! Larry Williams on Newstalk ZB is doing greatthings as well.
Peters is history. Is there enough concrete evidence to take Clark down as well - probably not, but there's ample evidence of guilt by association!
Looks like Jafapete's prediction is coming true then.
Nice looking froth though!

And One News top item is about the liquid bombers in the UK. I suppose 3News will lead with the 'leaked' policy.
SMTC - I can taste the froth on the pint that JP will be shouting me already! Mmmmmmm - nectar of the gods!
All the commentators on ZB/Radio Live are tiptoeing around the tulips in regards to Winnie.
Are they all so sh*t scared of being sued?
Does Clark still take his word over the conflict of evidence?
I think it's that old "innocent until proven guilty" lurk anon! But I think that the Court of Public Opinion has already reached its verdict.
I know i am stating the obvious,but if Mike Williams knew then surely the PM knew.
Check Glenn's phone records with Labour.
The phone records will show that Labour initiated Glenn's dealings with NZF, not the other way around. And of course that Glenn tried to buy the Maori party and the Greens, again after conversations with Labour.
"I knew it wasn't you Dr Cullen...you already had your $500,000."
Labour bought the last election with Owen Glenn's money.
It is disgraceful that Peters has taken advantage of Helen's trusting nature.
Oh FFS, are you all that dense?
Mike Williams admitted to a journalist in late 2005 he was in it up to his eyeballs. I have posted on it twice. See here:

What Gooner said. And what Gooner said in September.
And what I said even earlier.
I wonder if Labour knew about the donation,as if they did they are protecting someone who knowingly lied, while publicly maintaining they have to take an honourable member at his word.
FFS indeed.
Still don't get it do you?
Glenn came to labour in early 2005 with an offer of around $1 Million so that they could buy the results of the election
Labour took at least $600,000 themselves.
Labour suggested Glenn funnel $100,000 to Winston.
And Glenn said "have your poodle call me" - so some Labour stooge talked to Winston, and Winston called Glen.
Labour suggested Glen fund the Maori party and Greens and Dunny. Glenn said that same thing: "have your poodles call me".
So Labour operators talked to the Maori party - and the Maori party said "fuck off" and went to the media.
What did the Greens & Dunny say. *yes please??*
What did Glenn do with the rest of his money?
Labour aren't trying to save Winston.
They are trying to save themselves.
