Labour candidate Kate Godfrey writes to Jeremy Corbyn:
“I’m told the new politics is based on honesty. So fine, here’s an honest question for Jeremy Corbyn. How could you? How bloody could you? How could you appoint Seumas Milne to be your voice, your eyes, your hands? …The decision to appoint Seumas Milne devalues everything that Labour stands for, and everything that Labour is. It is morally and ethically wrong. Seumas Milne might act for you, Mr Corbyn. He might speak for you. He does not speak for me.”
