From More Sniping at Leighton Andrews [and David Taylor], to Quality Blogging from Chicken Yoghut and Owen's Musings...

Our low brow tête à tête with Leighton "Scum" Andrews features on the Britnat Watch weblog, along side their story of how it was Leighton's researcher David Taylor who, apparently, ordered the ejection of Walter Wolfgang from Jack Straw's derranged speech.

Whilst there has been nothing that I have come across [please correct me if I am wrong here] that confirms the allegation that it was indeed DT who ordered Mr Wolfgangs 'bouncing' out of the hall, the fact Andrew Neil alluded to it the other week on Daily Politics would indicate that, as Britnat Watch suggest, journalists believe it to be so.

In digging around for this I found a few more nugets about Leighton's Damascene conversion from Liberal Firebrand to New Labour acolyte [and David Taylor's Boss].

So it is perhaps appropriate that it is his infamous researcher who is alleged to be behind the most public and explicit exhibition of New Labour authoritarianism we have seen to date.

However, if you are tired of my vindictive scurrilous posting about Leighton, there is gentlemanly inteligent debate to be found on the interweb.

Justin [Chicken Yoghurt] vs [Owen's Musings] on the amount of money the Department for International Development spend on private consultants is a great example of quality blogging, and not to be missed.

Round by Round:
Justin starts here, and Owen gets back here. Chicken Yoghurt comes back here, and Owen replies via comments here.

Enjoy.
