Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for 10 years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
I just love the comment from "the Conservative Party spokeswoman" who tries to deflect the blame by suggesting it was all the fault of the Birmingham City Conservative-controlled Council's marketing organisation.
This non-story broke days ago. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
The infighting within your own party is what is doing real damage to our country.

Tim Ireland spotted this a couple of weeks ago. Every time there is a Tory sleaze story you get comments from Tory stooges saying "this is a non-story, why don't you concentrate on important things".
Strange how they were so vociferous about "non-stories" such as Prescott's shagging habits. Iain Dale thought it so important he published a bleeding book about it!
Apologies if I have got this wrong, I was left with the impression that Ann Widdicombe intended taking up lap dancing.
Following a Tim Ireland link to the most influential bloggers as judged by a writer for the Independent, I note that Iain Dale intends to stand again in an attempt to become a Tory MP. Will he be third time lucky? Especially, if Ashcroft pays for it out of his tax fiddles?
Perhaps, even Guido will sell his £1M blog (which is what he claims it is worth) to help buy a seat?
