no doubt all mps miss the occasional surgey. As for the festival, well john has a very, very long track record of attendance at local functions, so give it a rest thomas.
You are trying to be his self-appointed watchdog and it does your cause no good, because it comes over as pettiness.
In truth, there is no serious criticism to level at his perfroamnce as an MP, so you pick up breadcrumbs and try to make them out to be loaves.
If you want to win this seat back, you should be attending to Labour's failings. They are what lost the seat, and curing them is what will win it back, not trying to make out that john not going to the didsbury festival is some kind of heinous crime.
