Not to everybody's taste
Labour frontbencher admits tweet against Rishi Sunak 'won't be to everybody's taste' after backlash
Labour has been accused of "gutter politics" and criticised by its own MPs after it posted an advertisement on Twitter claiming Rishi Sunak doesn't think child sex abusers should go to prison.
Veteran Labour MP John McDonnell said: "This is not the sort of politics a Labour Party, confident of its own values and preparing to govern, should be engaged in.
"I say to the people who have taken the decision to publish this ad, please withdraw it. We, the Labour Party, are better than this."
The trouble is, the Labour Party isn't better than this, otherwise it wouldn't have occurred. It was necessary for the party to be better than this by some distance. Now we know it isn't.

We've known it for a long time. And I don't think they could change our minds without dissolving themselves and starting from scratch.
Sam - it's the problem with voting. Neither major party is worthy of a vote but Labour has totalitarian malice at the core of what it is.
