The son of an MP was today exposed as a dealer in the latest designer drug mephedrone, which is believed to have been responsible for a string of recent deaths.
The revelation will prove to be a huge embarrassment to MP Louise Ellman, Labour's representative for the Riverside area of Liverpool.
A "huge embarrassment", he is selling a legal product that his mother happens to disagree with, I don't see how that even qualifies as mild embarrassment. I also like the use of the term "dealer". What makes it all the more ridiculous is that her son is not a minor under her control, but a grown man of 37 as they point out in this tortuously constructed sentence:
Her 37-year-old son Sean, 37, sells the legal drug - known as meow meow - from a chain of shops across the North of England.
Is she supposed to send him to his room to think about what he's done or withhold his pocket money?
The only thing shocking about this is that the child of a Labour MP has a proper job and hasn't been given a sinecure with a quango or lined up for a seat at Westminster.

In any sane society, he would be hailed as an effective small businessman. I agreed with David Nutt's analysis that, for the time being, mephedrone should be in a new holding class D.
Apart from the fact that my own instincts are liberal/libertarian on the issue, & I hope I can be forgiven for questioning whether prohibition works, it makes more sense for a drug that has only recently become known about. Law enforcement have got better things to do than play cat & mouse with people who find ways of marketing new drugs once another is banned.
You can, I'm sure, excuse me for doubting that a Conservative government would not be any closer to my views than the Labour cunts.
Well, if Labour are going to play cat and mouse with anyone, a 'dealer' in meow meow is at least apposite...
Legalise, regulate, tax, educate.
Next.
That's her screwed then! No way her constituents are going to vote for anyone with family involved in something legal.
