Colin Burgon MP, Chair of Labour Friends of Venezuela, has published in Tribune an excellent rebuttal of an attack on the Chavez led Government by fellow Labour MP Denis McShane.

"Given the availability of credible information on Latin America, is this part of a politically-motivated campaign with a broader, ideological agenda?" asks Burgon

This is the same McShane, who in 2002 as a Foreign Office Junior Minister embarrased himself in by hastily giving succour to the the thwarted CIA inspired coup by characterising Chavez as a "ranting, populist demagogue". http://www.neoconeurope.eu/Denis_MacShane.
