My friend Sean Dilley, political correspondent for TalkSport reckons Labour have a bit of work to do on equalities issues. Sean is blind and operates with the assistance of a wonderful labrador guide dog called Chipp. Chipp is very popular in the Palace of Westminster.
This morning at the conference he was talking to one of Alan Johnson's special advisers who, mid conversation, walked off leaving Sean talking to thin air. How very rude.
Nice to see Alan Johnson representing the good manners and consideration for others we've come to expect from Labour ministers. Surely it's not that hard to realise that the blind guy is going to have trouble spotting when you've walked away and therefore it's only polite to make your excuses rather than sneaking off!
