sorry john, but bollocks.
People like me put labour into power by voting for them for 30 years.
and people like me will turf them out by voting against them because of the way they have betrayed their own principles subsequently. You know the list.
and "proper" does not mean incompetent. Nor does it mean head-in-the clouds stuff.
As for John Leech, he may well have overspent and he may not. My point is that neither you nor I have sufficient evidence to know if he has or has not. You choose to assume that he must have overspent because you are willing him to fail. I choose to accept his assurances because I trust him.
But neither of us is in a position to actually know.
