Pretty good result for John Spellar.
Labour share down only 1.1% and an increase in numerical votes.
I don’t understand why Labour don’t make more use of people like him – there are fewer than they used to be.
Solid men in the centre of the political spectrum who have done a proper job.
There should be at least one standing for the leadership.
Too many metropolitan politically correct policy wankers, with prissy tired platitudes – across more than one party.
Joe – don’t hold back, say what you feel……….
I did say – across more than one party.
but,
I was heartened recently by a very positive debate in Parliament earlier this month about getting a lot more apprenticeships,
with practical and original suggestions from
that new MP for Gloucester, also Robert Halfon, Margot James, and Ian Lucas for Labour.
Good ideas about making it worthwhile for the employer aswell, who often fears people will leave after they are trained.
