Election postponed

So it rather looks as if the McBride scandal will put paid to Gordon's plans for an early election!

Big tip of the Bowler to Guido for exposing this disgraceful episode!

UPDATE: Tom Harris tells it like it is...

We screwed up, big time. We have no-one — absolutely no-one at all — to blame for this but ourselves. The damage the Labour Party and the government have sustained this last 24 hours has been entirely self-inflicted.

There is at least one honest man in politics.
