Ange is Out

[fred c]

An unconfirmed rumour that the council Limo had been sent to Askham to pick Ange up, and a welcome home tea party had, apparently been arranged in the Mayors Parlour by her chums.

So will the Akers-Belchers demand the door is held open for her? Or was it simply never closed

As the saying goes....As one door closes...another slams shut in your face!  In the run up to the GE, I reckon CAB will find that this 'saying' is more appropriate than he might realise!
If, as the polls suggest, that Labour are 'toast' in the GE, then, imo, the Labour bigwigs, will be analysing, on June 9th, what went wrong and, more importantly, WHY!  IF Labour lose Hartlepool to the Tories (I sincerely hope so and I've NEVER voted Tory in my life...but I will this time!) then the Labour equivalent of CSI will disect every single item/ person/ GE candidate/ councillor/ etc, to find out what went wrong!  If the SCABs and co. aren't on the Labour radar now, then they certainly will be on June 9th!  As my dear late Dad used to say...'They should be on the stage......the first one out of town!'  Expect a 'For Sale' sign up in 101 Westbrooke Avenue just after the GE!

If the Labour Party had any credibility this shower would have been sorted out a long time ago, that's the trouble, they were just by-standees in this. They would be equally guilty for letting the farce continue.

Some of us aren't standing bye. There are a lot of new members who are equally ducked off about this. What I was surprised to learn is the reason that they are at the bottom of the barrel and reason same clowns get elected

'New members' of what?
