no i will not provide examples. they were private matters to this family. Sorry.
I'm sure john does have a lot to learn and he obviously won't be properly effective yet in all sorts of ways..
No doubt KB was the same when he became an MP and took time to bed in properly before he could function effectively.
you need to give any MP 12-18 months in order to have a clear view of his performance, and none of you 3 will judge him impartially any way.
From our point of view, so far so good, but it's too soon to judge. We are confident though that he'll deliver handsomely. We're not confident that his party will. They seem a bit rudderless at the moment
Alan, I'm sure KB did a good job in many ways, but our experience with him individually was not good , and unfortunately for him he was Labour's rep here when Labour shut withington hospital, buggered us about over schools and took us to war in iraq, and paid the appropriate price.
We may vote labour again, but not until blair and most of what he stands for has gone. I think that will take a long time, personally, and that gordon brown will not be a good leader. I wouldn't put money on labour winning the next election with a workable majority. then finally we may see PR and some actual democracy in this country.
Thomas, given the fact you have made it your life's work to undermine John Leech, you can scarcely be surprised if he refuses to play your game. He's there to do a job, not to play political games with you. No doubt he will assume , probably correctly , that you are trying to entrap him.
