Am I the first with this obvious headline? "Unite Ed we stand; Unite Ed we fall."
I somehow get the feeling that had this been Lord Ashcroft being accused of hijacking the Conservative Party election process to select a candidate/s the BBC may have had just a little more than just THIS single report, the headline and preamble of which completely disguise the real story ("Tom Watson quits as Labour election campaign chief"). The real story of course is union influence and control over Labour: the party gets about 8 million quid a year from unions, nearly half of which comes from Unite making it responsible for more than 40% of Labour's entire haul from donations. As David Vance says here, quoting Kipling, "the truthful well-weighed answer that tells the blacker lie"; thinking about it, that could be the BBC's motto sweeping some things under the carpet and whisking up a storm when it suits the agenda.
