Put your spade away, Lucy:

Honestly Tories and others desperately mis-quoting what I said. Anyone who heard the whole interview knows I said the opposite.

Such as the Guardian’s political editor:

Lucy Powell seems to have said Labour promises are not worth the stone they are carved on. A first in politics.

And the BBC:

This cheered me up. @LucyMPowell on Edstone – fact promises "carved into stone" doesn't mean "absolutely not going to break them". Really?!!

Including their Labour election correspondent:

Has Labs Lucy Powell broken the Edstone? Suggests just because pledges carved in stone doesnt mean he's absolutely not going to break them..

And the ‘right-wing’ Manchester Evening News:
