WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SPIN

"The idea of a left-wing Labour Government as the alternative to a moderate and progressive one is the abiding delusion of 100 years of our Party. We aren't going to fall for it again."

So sayeth, the Prime Minister at a private dinner with the Trades' Union Council (TUC) last night. Or did he?

Union leaders are saying this morning that the PM was much less confrontational in the speech. No cameras or reporters were at the dinner to verify the text. So, it's one version for the press and public; and another for the Labour Party paymasters.

No spin there, then.
