Slaughter the innocent

GNU LABOUR

My new MP is Andrew Slaughter (an apt name for a representative of the party which gave us the Iraq War, perhaps).

Quick off the mark as ever, Labour's website shows brief biographical details of the man: he is 44, a barrister educated at Exeter University (famous for its Oxbridge rejects), unmarried, and a member of Amicus.

Accompanied by a photo of the seat's previous MP, fellow blogger Clive Soley.

Perhaps the appalling, simpering picture of Slaughter that graced his election literature was considered too emetic even for Labour supporters?

Nice work, guys.
