I don't think a whole load of Maoist-style self-criticism should actually be required of those who fall foul of the ArbCom. But Clem Attlee to Harold Laski usually applies.
Shockingly this quote appears in the biography of neither, nor on Wikiquote - I must change that! It is, oddly in [[Talk:Herbert Morrison]].
(Laski, then Chairman of the Labour Party, wrote to Attlee, then Leader and just appointed as Prime Minister, after the 1945 election to say that he should now have a leadership election. Attlee wrote back that "A period of silence on your part would be welcome")
