Backbench dunce Ian Mearns wasted no time in sticking his oar in to the bitch fight between Tim Loughton and the anonymous @ToryEducation yesterday. The Member of the Education Select Committee must have thought he was onto a right wheeze up there on his high horse:
“This extraordinary attack is another example of derogatory language…. There is no place for these kind of personal attacks in public life. The Education Secretary needs to take action.”
Guido is looking forward to the poor delicate flower press releasing his concern about another Honourable Member’s sharp words last night. Brownite boot-boy Ian Austin went off on one at Greg Hands, amusingly about the very same Ian Mearns:
Even by @GregHands' cretinous standards, his witherings about labour front bench really are very stupid

@GregHands No. My stone cold sober assessment of you is that you are one of the most stupid and unpleasant MPs I've met. I hope that's clear
— Ian Austin (@IanAustinMP) March 26, 2013
@GregHands Yep. I am. And the fact that you are the most unpleasant and one of the most stupid Tory MPs is Labour's official policy

Entertainment is over for the evening. The football is over and @IanAustinMP seems to have passed out at his computer.

Guido has asked Mearns whether he is standing by his line that “there is no place for these kind of personal attacks in public life”. For some reason he has yet to reply…
