Are we able to celebrate the Unite union's "vindication" in the Falkirk debacle?
I'm afraid not.
Not until the report has been published.
Otherwise we only have the Labour party's assurances that there was no jiggery pokery.
"We the Labour party have looked into the behaviour of the Labour party and have concluded that the Labour party is entirely innocent".
Doesn't quite ring true does it.
This is no longer an internal Labour party matter. Not only have journalists been called fascists and prospective parliamentary candidates accused of sleeping their way to the top. The police have been called in to investigate - and this expenditure of public money makes it a legitimate matter of concern to us all.
And also is it not a question of trust among those people who aspire to be our political masters?
For all it's comical ineptitude and bad-tempered name calling the Falkirk incident is, as it stands, a form of cover-up.
There is no whitewash at the Falkirk Constituency Labour Party, we are being told.
I am not a crook, Len McClusky seems to be telling us.
Fine.
Prove it.
Publish the report.
Otherwise you risk going into the 2015 election with the Richard Nixon Endorsement for open and transparent government.
