Do as I say, not as I do. This should be the motto for the Labour Party.

Diane Abbott decided to send her son to an independent school. Yes, this is the same Ms Abbott who so vociferously objected when the Blairs and Harriet Harman did exactly the same thing.

When questioned on it, she said she had to chose between her political status and her son so she chose the latter.

How can they believe something is right for themselves but not for others?

This is giving the word hypocrisy a new dimension, even after John "Two Jags" Prescott's crusades against car ownership.
