Labour spin doctors alleged to have evicted disabled delegates
It is not often that I quote the Morning Star but this report speaks volumes about the attitude of some of Labour's party officials. If it is true then having the party looking good on television is more important than providing appropriate facilities for the disabled.
The paper claims that 'heartless Labour chiefs forced a group of disabled delegates to give up their seats for “party suits” minutes before Ed Miliband’s speech'.
They add that venue stewards told the party worker the seats had been specially assigned to the 15 disabled delegates but were overruled.
Maybe they should have concentrated on moving those delegates who nodded off during Ed Miliband's speech instead.
