Charlie was sitting in the front row between my wife and Dan Donnelly of the Dover TUC. He stood and took a question referred to him by the chair at one point. I am surprised you did not notice him Howard, although if you were next to Vic anything is possible.
There was no need for Charlie to be on the panel. That would have given the appearance of it being a party-political issue, which it is not. The only two politicians on the panel were Labour Party members. (Sue Jones and Lord Glasman.)
Vic you do yourself no credit by disobeying the chair and refusing to follow the rules laid down by Parliament. Go to the naughty corner.
