have they got something to hide?

Plenty

Remember, Labour insignated the investigation into Unite and Falkirk. If the intention was to cover up, they wouldn't have revealed it in the first place. The politically inspired innuendo from the Lib Dems has proven to be false. The police have said there is nothing untoward.

[ToraToraTora]

So publish the report!

[Gromit]

Yes it should.

That might perpetuate the dispute and Labour wants it finished as it is damaging. Which I suspect is what you want.

// The crisis in the Labour party has dramatically deepened after Conservative MP Henry Smith wrote to Police Scotland asking them to look into Labour's selection process in Falkirk.

The Conservative MP claimed that fraud may have been committed after new Labour party members were allegedly signed up to the without their knowledge in an attempt to influence the selection process to find a candidate to replace the disgraced MP Eric Joyce. Mr Smith also raised the question of whether forged documents had been tendered during the controversial selection process, an offence known as uttering. //

Now that we know the claims were bogus, should Henry Smith MP be prosecuted for wasting Police time?

// Brian Capaloff, a Unite member who is on the Labour party executive in Falkirk, told the Today programme: "Ed Miliband was pushed into making a decision in order to demonstrate that the unions weren't in control and he made completely the wrong call. It's a complete embarrassment, completely of his own making.

"I am of the belief that those allegations were withdrawn because they were unfounded in the first place or because there were suspicions about their submission.

"But unless we actually see the contents of the report then we can't actually see how this has actually been reached and what those allegations were, who submitted the allegations, how they were submitted." //
