Former Labour Party president Manuel Cuschieri is conducting Labour leader Joseph Muscat's recruitment drive across Malta.

He is "going around every home, irrespective of political beliefs", or so he said in comments he gave to this newspaper a few days ago.

Why the Labour leader would ever ask Mr Cuschieri to represent him across the board in a nation-wide recruitment drive is beyond me.

The least that could have been expected, however, is that Mr Cuschieri would try his best to appear renewed and modern. But he is evidently not capable of this either.

Speaking with an air of pomp and achievement, Mr Muscat's front-man reminded readers of this newspaper that he "was part of the winning team in 1996".

What a delightful element to have in one's CV. He would have done well to erase his pre-millennium participation in local politics from his memory.
