The Last Ditch is an ever so humble commentary blog. It is rare that I have the chance to break an original story. However, over dinner last week, I heard an account of a Labour Party luminary being humiliated and having his corrupt gains trashed by members of his own trade union when caught on the take.

In the interests of being prepared for any libel action, I await further and better particulars from my source (a proud participant). In the meantime, I am chortling constantly at the thought of blogging this and decided to share my glee. Watch this space...
