Immigration Minister Phil Woolas (of Joanna Lumley ambush fame) was yesterday suspended by the Labour Party for his sordid election campaigning, using race to stir up resentment against his Liberal Democrat rival. He won the seat by 103 votes, but after the first case of it's kind for 99 years, he has lost his parliamentary seat, and there will have to be a by-election.
Harriet Harman outlined his suspension, and the fact that Labour would not be supporting him in any appeal. She described the case as "complex", in the effect that it would have on other politicians in future election campaigns.
As the P & J said in its' editorial today, what is so complex about politicians not telling a pack of racist lies for political gain Harriet?
