Former Labour leader seeks job with the Tories

I read on Andrew Reeves blog that former (Labour) Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell is touting himself to the Tories for a big foreign job after the general election.

As Andrew points out, this shows a distinct lack of confidence in a Labour victory and also a disrespect for his constituents.

But what struck me is that, had this been a Lib Dem, then the Labour Party would have been shouting about how this obviously showed that the Lib Dems were jumping into bed with the Conservatives.
