Labour buying off MP's from nationalist parties reminded me of the sort of grubby deals that sustained Labour in the 1970's where deals with Northern Irish MP's, the SNP and others kept the labour Party in power through from 1974 to 1979.
Let us not forget that those years were stained with strikes, a collapse in Britain's economic position and a real sense that Labour were in power but did not actually wield any power.
This sort of deal over 42 days detention has all the signs of a morally bankrupt Labour Party and just like the 1970's, shows why they can no longer be trusted in office. The Tories should win next time, and the Lib Dems should be seeking to cement themselves as the key opposition to the Tories by targeting Labour seats now because just like after 1979, labour will be out of power for years to come.

Morally bankrupt and financially bankrupt as well.
Ten years in power sacrificed for the sake of 42 days.
The Lib Dems as the real opposition to the Tories... That would be very preferable to these deceitful lying unprincipled cowboys
