The Government is facing a head-on collision with Labour Euro-MPs after four left-winger MEPs were suspended yesterday.

Mr Alex Falconer, veteran left-wing Euro-MP for Mid Scotland and Fife was one of the four. He was suspended for defying the code of practice which demands party loyalty. Mr Falconer has protested his innocence and said he will appeal.

Party loyalty, what the hell is this? Mr Falconer is responsible to the electorate NOT to some Blairist right wing quango in London.

MORE OPEN GOVERNMENT - LABOUR STYLE - JUST LIKE THE TORIES
