[Livia]

To be fair, anyone can be an activist. She isn't paid by the party and there is no evidence that the BBC "planted" her in the audience as a favour to Labour. If there is evidence, it would be such a hot potato news-wise that I think we'd probably know about it by now. And she was a counting agent at the Eastleigh by-election... So what? As long as you're nominated by the candidate or their agent beforehand, anyone can be a counting agent. It's really... reeeeeeally boring.

I'm no fan of Labour but this really is something being made out of nothing.
