Labour's leaflets are a Tony-free zone

In a story about Tony being missing from some leaflets, I wonder if he is in ours..yet to see any, Hilary Armstrong is given a mention.

Bob Marshall-Andrews QC, the Labour candidate in Medway, a Labour marginal, has a photograph of himself with Gordon Brown on his website.

Mr Marshall-Andrews was a leading anti-war campaigner and after he rebelled against the Government in the last parliament, the Chief Whip, Hilary Armstrong, threatened that cabinet ministers would not visit him in the election. He told her he wanted a guarantee they would not visit.

I'm sorry that last bit made me laugh out loud...I'll repeat it just for "effect"...

He told her he wanted a guarantee they would not visit.
