On BBC Radio Five Live yesterday there was a significant piece about Labour lobbying revelations.

It dwelled at some length on the general problems of principle arising from what Stephen Byers and other senior Labour politicians have been offering, but without placing the blame firmly on Labour in general or on Labour politiocians in particular!

Nothing about the way in which specific Labour politicians in office might have been open to these blandishments from their former colleagues.

Just waffle.

How do voters get to shift this catastrophic government when the country’s largest broadcasting network – paid for by poll tax levied on anyone who watches TV – is deflecting any serious focus on its contemptible behaviour?
