If you ask me, this is all descending into a nasty little game in which senior Labour figures distance themselves from their comments, past or present, as if vile attacks on follow party members or claims about the 'bravery of the IRA' are not symptoms of a deeper problem.
In other words, this new politics business is a load of old bollix.
