The in-fighting in Labour continues

Still the in-fighting in Labour continues - here Damian McBride slags off Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt:  http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/labour-shadow-minister-questions-nuns-gets-called-a-dk--eJ4Kdu1Z2l

Tristram Hunt fetishises "qualified" teacher status as if it is some kind of gold standard.  What is obvious to almost everyone is that state schools, run by unionised teachers "qualified" to Tristram Hunt's standard, have lamentably failed.  Even Labour refers (in a negative way) to "bog standard" comprehensives.

And if Mr Hunt is so keen on qualified status why is he not championing qualified politicians? 

They could sit an examination on truth-telling; the difference between right and wrong; and the price of basic articles including milk.
