Am I missing something? I was under the impression , garnered from comments on this website, that a reinvigorated Local Labour party was going to unseat John Leech at the next election, spear-headed by a lady called Lucy Powell, who is apparently a first rate candidate.
Is that correct?
If so, why have we still heard nothing from her? I've not seen her, heard her mentioned in the local media, nothing.
I suspect that Labour locally may be a busted flush in reality, which is a pity.
Alan, I assume you will be going back to your previous home, the Conservatives? Interesting, that. You are precisely the kind of voter Lavour set out to woo under Tony Blair, and they've left you feeling disillusioned, which suggests they've let down the old labour support like myself and the liberal tories like you. That spells trouble for them at the next elections.
Glad to see you understand the basic financial points I've been trumpeting for the last 2 years. Gordon Brown, far from being a good chancellor, has sold ordinary people down the river. We are the most endebted people in Europe, we have to spend something like 20% of our income to put a roof over our heads, the gap between rich and poor has stretched to obscene proportions, and individual freedoms are being eaten away - we have more CCTV cameras in UK than the rest of Europe combined. Labour at their worst are control freaks, and that will appear more and more
