Come back Peter, all is forgiven!.

No chance!  Peter Watt should be consigned to the hottest fire burning hell.  Mike Griffiths was the party's choice.  Let's hope he still wants the job.

The search ought to be on for a piece of lemon peel!

Guardian has the story. Dianne Hayter said:

"It is unfortunate that the necessary arrangements for David to join the Labour party as general secretary could not be completed and we are grateful for the exhaustive efforts made by him and others to this end.

"The NEC will now start the process to make a new appointment and getting a permanent general secretary in post as quickly as possible."

Guardian tips Chris Lennie now. I hope for once the insiders fail to get thier manipulative way. Wasn't Chris Lennie in post right thru the loans on dubious authority affair? Time for a fresh brush I feel.

But does Mike Griffiths still want it?  We need to start gathering signatures for that too!
