Herald Scores

In an offline article, the Herald scores the exchanges yesterdays:

Rich 10 vs Maharey 1 (go Katherine!)

English 5 vs Cullen 5

Hodgson 7 vs Ryall 3

Key 3 vs Clark 3 (and Field 5)

Total: Nats 21 to Labour  16

They cover Clark’s defence of her statement that all Taito Phillip Field is probably guilty of, is trying to be helpful to someone.  She says:

“That statement was made very early in the piece and long before the Ingram report came out”

Now this may be true (which doesn’t let her off but putting that to one side), but the real damning thing is that Michael Cullen said almost exactly the same thing, and he said it after the Ingram Report came out.

Of course as Field himself said, he is innocent until proven guilty.  But if he is found guilty, Labour will be reminded of how they spent months and months defending him.
