Never mind the industrial areas of Britain, it was "Working hard for the Falkland Islands" 8000 miles away.
Yes, I remember it all too well.

I’d recommend anyone contemplating voting in the General Election this year getting a postal vote arranged asap

Just as well, we haven't got enough ships to form a task force.

Labour have finally selected their candidate to represent the town. Leigh Ingham. Labour really do frustrated me, there must be people who are local, that know and understand the residents and voters but no, Leigh Ingham another candidate seemingly parachuted in. Leigh is currently a local councillor in South Gloucestershire.

What's the point in an MP that doesn't know the town? The one saving grace is they're not a Tory, past that they may as well be anyone.

Enjoying a drop of red.
Anyone can appear good on paper, if they've got the right person writing for them.
Having said that, I really can't see how anyone could be worse than the sainted Theo and you'd have to try really, really hard not to be considerably better.

I get that Lucy and I stress that I don't know the machinations of the local members and the selection process, but if you were a local member and had aspirations would it not be demoralising not to be selected to represent your home town.
I personally want someone with links to Stafford, but I will accept someone that will put their heart into representing us.

What would you rather have , in a national sense?
Someone who was very able locally, and could be valuable to a Government in Cabinet?
Or a glorified councillor who happened to have gone to the same school as you, or one of your best friends cousin's neighbours dog walker?

They're obviously not good enough to stand in their own town, do we have any proof they aren't also a shower of shit? I'll still vote for them as they aren't Tory but I can't remember the last time I actually gave a shit about the person at a local level.

I'd also rather have someone local who has experienced first hand the issues in our town, but maybe some fresh blood is a good thing if the other option is to have a local Councillor? This Leigh looks normal, has probably got more actual real life experience than the current waste of space. So on that basis I'm in! Looks like she might actually engage with constituents as well!
