Disappearing standards

Labour's standards haven't just lowered, some of them have disappeared.

The Standard blog has either gone or is being removed to a new server after it was outed as a Labour Party blog and hosted by Labour in its servers last week after initially claiming to be independant. Bill English has subsequently questioned Labour's knowledge of the blog.

At the very least, Labour knows who these people are. In the interests of openness and transparency, Labour should make its support public.The website appears to be a covert third-party campaign, run on the internet with Labour's full knowledge and participation.

. update The Standard has resurfaced.
