Scottish police seem to be helping Jim Murphy's campaign.

You couldn't make this story up because nobody would believe it: the Scottish police have pulled in a protester and demanded that he give them advance details of all and any plans that he has to demonstrate at Jim Murphy's public events. Sean Clerkin is the demonstrator and what McPlod did not know is that Clerkin seems to have had a camera hidden on his person and he has said that the video will go live on YouTube tomorrow.

Now it may be that Sean Clerkin is an irritant to some politicians, but this is an election after all, and political hacks have to accept that not every event will be stage managed to their satisfaction. The police refused to rule out sharing any information that Clerkin gave them with Murphy, so the obvious conclusion that people will reach is that they are aiding the Labour campaign.
