last word...

... on the Milibland saga and Labour's latest attempts to make themselves unelectable for the foreseeable future.

I should like to have got a better one off the web, but I still do not feel the need to enrich Murdoch any further by paying for access to the Times' webpages when I shell out for the paper.
