Sifting through the quotes from members of the Parliamentary Labour Party in the wake of last night's meeting I have been searching for mentions of those of us who deliver leaflets, knock on doors and devote time voluntarily to get Labour representatives elected.
This one takes the biscuit.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband told the BBC: "The Parliamentary
Labour Party has reached a settled view about the leadership. The
Labour Party does not want a new leader. There is no vacancy. There is
no challenger."
Note the hop, skip and a jump. PLP = The Labour Party. Excuse me. Until the nomination papers are issued under Rule, with respect, Foreign Secretary [sic] you have no right to say: "The Labour Party does not want a new leader."
