Miliband’s PPS Dan Norris sent the following text to selected sympathetic* Labour MP’s last night:
If you’re at conference pls make a point of speaking to lobby correspondents who are trying to distort party unity, to help them u’stand David’s speech was a unifying one which is why it went down so well in the hall. Thanks.
That spin line didn’t exactly work…
*Not all are as sympathetic as they think, obviously.

Gobby livens up the Brooks’ press conference:
“Have you had any messages of support from the Prime Minister?”
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
