Spot the Difference

A well informed reader has contacted me to say that a difference between Jim Devine and Phil Woolas - is that one was a former Unison official and the other a former GMB official.

Good point - and well spotted.

But I don't think a bit of old fashioned trade union rivalry - can explain the difference in treatment between the two former MPs.

The one found guilty in the courts has the sympathy of at least some of his fellow Labour MPs - who have launched a 'Save Phil Woolas' campaign.

The other (Jim Devine) has been found guilty of nothing - as yet - but is about as popular amongst his fellow Labour MPs - as a live hand grenade.

Who said politics was a dirty business?
