Mandelson’s unhappy choice of words

Peter Mandelson today told the Labour conference that the party should fight “like insurgents, not incumbents”.  This is not the first time that he has employed what he clearly thinks is a clever turn of phrase.

However, out of respect to the Royal Welsh and the rest of our troops engaged in Afghanistan, perhaps he might, on reflection, decide that that it is not the happiest choice of words and stop using it.
