With friends like these, who need enemies.

Coming just a few weeks after the McBride email debacle, it looks like the Cherie Blair’s wicked stepmother has been reading The Little Labour Book of Dirty Tricks.

Lucas B. It’s exactly this kind of stubborn insistence that only you and people that think like you are right that puts the ordinary voter off. Why on Earth would anyone in this consituency bother to vote at all let alone vote Labour? Think I’ll just stay at home on voting day
Ooo!!! The irony!!
