So Tony Lloyd has ousted Ann Clwyd as Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party. What an incredible victory for the poor foot soldiers of the Labour backbenchers over their cruel generals in Government. Finally, the PLP has someone independent minded to take on the party leadership, rather than a spineless Blair lackey - a "lickspittle" as George Galloway would no doubt refer to her.

This is what the media and many within the Labour party itself are saying, and what complete rubbish it is.
