Mr S reported earlier on Lucy Powell’s blunder after she unwittingly seemed to contradict the message of the EdStone:

During an interview with the BBC’s deputy political editor James Landale, he was asked whether Powell, the vice-chair of Labour’s general election campaign, had got the wrong take-away message from his 8ft 6 sculpture. To this, Miliband replied, ‘Well, I’m clear about it, yes.’
