Bishop Hill in Labour

Labour Home has a thread up about David McLean's outrageous bill to exempt MPs from the Freedom of Information Act. Encouragingly the punters there are pointing the finger at their own MPs and condemning them in no uncertain terms. I had expected lots of cringeworthy party loyalty from LH, so if the message is getting through that politicians are the problem, not the solution, then we may have a major step forward on our hands.

In related news, Alistair Darling is trying to emasculate the FoI Act even further.
