Well, this is the deal. And I’ve got to knock out some stories about what it all means this afternoon. But the comments box is open for your assessments, hatchet jobs, interesting ‘did you know?’-type factoids, reminiscences of when these guys were in the same LPYS/NOLS/union branch, Trotskyist cell, Labour Party ward (or, in Shaun Woodward’s case, Conservative association) as you were, as well as general bitchiness etc etc. Me, I’m just disgusted that my old mate Phil Woolas has yet again been passed over for that cabinet level job he so richly deserves.

As the Charity Commission alluded to.
Someone in New York is prepared to talk about the OIL for Food and Galloway.
No way he’s going back into the Labour Party.

It’s doing my head in that I must have known you 20 odd years ago and can’t work out who you are. Can you drop some clues? (Or just email me. It’s irrelevant to the tasks of the proletariat, I know. But I’m one of those people who sits at the imdb duing movies because it drives me mad if I can’t remember what I’ve seen people in before). I promise not to tell anyone.
