Falkirk episode 'betrayed' Labour values

"The practices we have seen should be unacceptable in any political party," he added. "But they are certainly unacceptable in the Labour party."
Harriet Harman confirmed today that Labour will impose a spending cap on selection campaigns and Miliband is expected to lay out reform plans in a speech this week.
