LABOUR has been caught in a cronyism row after the son of party grandee Lord Falconer launched a bid to become an MP.
Hamish Falconer, the son of Tony Blair’s former flatmate, is in a battle to be Labour candidate for Lincoln at the next election.
Civil servant Hamish went to £34,000-a- year Westminster School before studying at Cambridge and then Yale in the USA.
He has recently moved to Lincoln – about 25 miles away from his father’s country home.
Earlier this week he released a slick promotional video pledging to “serve this city, a place I call home.”
