Neutrality

Labour Party meeting tonight and, if I may say so, most members think Gordon got it right - nobody fancied an election on a dark November day especially when there was no need.

Interested too, to learn that George Kerevan (another Labour deserter) is to fight Gavin Strang in Edinburgh East for the SNP. It surely can't be right that he's still able to edit the Scotsman? Nobody could believe he's neutral, surely? Or are we asked to believe he can switch off his SNP bias till the election is called? I don't think so. It's the most consistently anti-Labour paper I've read except the Mail and the Independent.
