Tax controversy and flash cars – that’s life in the modern Labour Party

By | Thu 22nd March 2012 - 10:25 am

We’ve heard lots about Labour mayoral candidate “Red Ken” Livingstone’s tax affairs recently, as this Telegraph article reports.

Then we have Labour leader Ed Miliband turn up in a Rolls Royce to a football match. Leaving aside the clear communications ineptitude about his diary for that day, it’s not the best look for the leader of a party which claims to be all about social justice.

Especially when he has such a strong record of standing up to rich and powerful media moguls whose operations are under investigation at the moment.

    * Newshound sets the agenda, as you would expect from a Red Setter

    This doesn’t make sense, isn’t in an agenda-setting blog post, and wasn’t funny the first time.
