Expense fiddlers and third-raters lead Labour

Labour seem to have chosen their greatest expense fiddlers to populate their shadow cabinet. But the biggest joke of all must be making the reportedly idle Postman Pat shadow chancellor. The thought of Postman Pat trying to get to grips with the complexity of economics should bring a smile to the faces of everyone who loves a good practical joke. Maybe Red Ed has a sense of humour after all.

Spivs, frauds, expenses thieves and idlers – step forward the Labour shadow cabinet.
