JACK Straw has been pontificating about the "deeply flawed" election in Zimbabwe but I have not heard him say anything about the council elections in Birmingham.
A judge said massive organised fraud had taken place and has ordered a re-run of the elections in the wards concerned. He also said this fraud had been organised by the Labour Party in Birmingham and that the party was in denial about the dangers to democracy posed by the postal voting system as it is now operated.
The Prime Minister's response has been to call a General Election in which this dangerous postal voting system will be used.
