It goes to show how corrupt the left are and how power hungry the socialists are.

They will do anything to stay in power.

NSW Labor paid more than $90,000 of MP Craig Thomson's legal bills and gave him a loan because he would have brought down the Gillard government if he went bankrupt.

A senior Labor source said: "We paid because if he hadn't he'd be bankrupt (which would render him ineligible to remain in parliament)."

The Daily Telegraph yesterday revealed Sussex St gave Mr Thomson more than $40,000 for legal bills after he dropped a defamation action over claims his union credit card was used to procure prostitutes.

Labor sources have now confirmed the figure was in excess of $90,000, with tens of thousands more as a loan.

Mr Thomson would not comment yesterday, while Prime Minister Julia Gillard's office also would not comment on whether it had asked NSW Labor to pay his bills.
