“I wouldn’t say his appearance is here or there, to be honest Jimmy.”

Not that it’s important, I just happened to notice that he looks much older than his years that’s all.

I wish you wouldn’t use the name of a national legend to launch petty and spiteful attacks.
(Unless it is really your name).

On the seat, it is clearly safe for Labour.
