Peter, you can't explain Leech's massive swing on him pounding the streets in his ward.
It was about more than that and i accept you're right about KB. He realised the threat far too late and didn't counter hard enough but nonetheless the Christies lies deffo took Leech down to Westminster.
But the idea that Leech won cos he solved the dogshit problem in Didsbury is naive.
Sorry I meant Labour solved the dogshit problem and then Leech took the credit on his Hocus Focus leaflet. (tongue a little bit in cheek.)
Plus there is a massive difference between being a hard working councillor and being an MP. Leech is living proof of that.
It is easy to see MPS as being remote as they are in London a lot of time.
Except Leech who misses vital votes and debates cos he's sat in the Town Hall.
It really is pathetic.
