"Parliamentary leper"

Liam Byrne's campaign secrets revealed:
 

His trademark was what he called a "blitz" style of campaigning, which involved Mr Byrne sprinting from house to house throwing leaflets at the doors.

 
Eh? Such a shame this happy picture is spoilt by the unremitting filth Mr Byrne and his esteemed advisor, Tom Watson MP, chose to put in the leaflets. I've printed it before, but it's worth repeating. All those who believe the Labour Party to be reclaimable, take heed:
 

Labour is on your side—the Lib Dems are on the side of failed asylum seekers...
 
We have taken tough action against those who abuse the system as a cover for economic migration. While Labour were tough the Lib Dems were wimps—they tried to stop us taking away benefits from failed asylum seekers and they voted against plans to speed up deportations.

 
Having that, and similar, flung at your door by a perspiring Neil Kinnock lookalike is not funny.
