BREATHTAKING HYPOCRISY......

You may recall that last week's vote on Post Office closures was opposed by only about 20 or so backbench Labour MPs. Strangely, Ministers had a rather different take on the situation in their own constituencies. Jack Straw (pictured) , Tessa Jowell, and Geoff Hoon are among a coterie of Government members who joined picket lines and protests, received petitions and then voted AGAINST the interests of their constituents. This is mindboggling hypocrisy. No wonder Labour is trailing in the opinion polls. It is, to put it mildly, a disgrace. And the electorate won't forget it.
