From Iraq to Trident and PFI, if we've learned one thing over the past decade it's that when the New Labour and Conservative front benches collude disaster is usually right around the corner. The Freedom of Information Act proposed by the late John Smith had already been watered down by Blair and Jack Straw. Yesterday's vote, supported by government ministers and some of Gordon Brown's most prominent acolytes, shows how low the Labour Party has sunk since Smith's premature death.
At times like this politicians rely on voter apathy. Contact a member of the House of Lords and prove them wrong.
