Spot the difference: Ashcroft on Baldwin

Lord Ashcroft on Miliband spinner Tom Baldwin last Friday:

“In recent weeks, much has been heard of “hacking”. What Mr Baldwin commissioned in this case was a different technique known as “blagging”. And he went to a man who is known in the seedy world he inhabits to be one of the best blaggers around. His name is Gavin Singfield.”

Lord Ashcroft on Tom Baldwin in his book “Dirty Politics Dirty Times”:

“With the Tories in difficulty, The Times decided that this was an opportune moment to dress up some largely old information about my funding for the party and spin it to try to make life awkward for William Hague and me. At this point, the information had come into Tom Baldwin’s possession.“

So did Baldwin commission the “blagging”, or did it come into his posession? And does Lord Ashcroft have his story straight?
