Funny how it’s always left to Guido to point these things out. With the news that the Red Cross will be collecting food and handing it to the needy in the UK for the first time since the war, Labour were cock-a-hoop, crowing about evil Tories and welfare cuts. Guido is sure that it is a complete coincidence that the chairman of the Red Cross is Sir Charles Allen – the television tycoon who also happens to be the executive chairman of the Labour Party. Nice hit.
