Norwich North Labour - Brought To You By John Lewis

The Labour candidate in the Norwich North by-election - provoked, lest we forget, by the resignation of a Labour MP over expenses:

The Labour candidate for Norwich is Chris Ostrowski, who by coincidence works for the retailer that came to symbolise the Westminster allowances culture, John Lewis.

Nice. John Lewis employee. Way to rub the expenses scandal further into the faces of the voters of Norwich North. Still, I have faith in those voters. I'm sure that they won't use Ostrowski's employment situation against him. If anything signs the death knell for Ostrowski's bid for Parliament, it will be running as a Labour candidate at a time when Labour is dead in the water.
