'Boss' kept in his place?

This one is barely a blogpost, just an incredulous note.

Mark Pack writes here that Labour bosses responded to Ed Miliband's swapping of occasional texts with Vince Cable by confiscating his mobile phone.

I'm not the most butch and assertive person in the world, but really, if I were leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, I like to think I'd be bold enough to say "Who's Queen Leader?" when one of my underlings tried that kind of a trick.

Maybe they used a magic word that Ed's obliged to obey, in a 'Simon Says' kind of a way. TUC says hand over your phone.
