"The lingering member for Mid Bedfordshire".
I like it. Maybe this sort of nomenclature should be applied to all MPs
The dithering member for Richmond ? The blithering member for NE Somerset etc

Nadine wants Liz Truss to nominate her for the Lords, apparently.

I did mean Dorries but that does not mean I hold a high opinion of Ms Truss.

I wonder what % went straight into the bin Seriously, I would hate that. You should write to tell them of your disapproval. I'm sure it would be met with all the concern and sincerity with which it was sent.

Vox pops in Mid Beds. Hat tip politicalbetting.com
Note spontaneous mention of Graham Mackay. I recognise the vast majority of you disagree but he is a factor here and no ordinary Indy. I was also struck to the lack of anyone even mentioning Labour in the video. Vox pops are vox pops, health warning as ever, but gives an idea what’s in play.

We watched edited highlights of the interviews, so the interviewer may have mentioned Mr Mackay's name. Also, only one person mentioned a non-Tory party, the Lib Dems. Interesting video, but not inviting any sort of in-depth analysis.

I recognise one background as the centre of Ampthill and my guess is that the others were all in the same area as well, so hardly balanced by area either.

Maybe one day the media will stop doing them in town centres during daytime hours, but probably not any time soon

Our name change of 24 years ago may not be cutting through yet, but if we can find a Bonham-Carter or a Lloyd-George lookalike we could be in with a chance.

Our name change of 24 years ago may not be cutting through yet, but if we can find a Bonham-Carter or a Lloyd-George lookalike we could be in with a chance. Do you mean 34 years ago? Or was there another name change 24 years ago which I haven’t noticed yet? Many years ago I wrote a letter to the local newspaper in Croydon advocating a coalition government between the OMRLP, the Liberal Party and the UKIP - on the grounds that all three of those parties were in favour of withdrawing from the EU. I was furious because when it was published on the letters page, an idiotic sub-editor changed the wording of my letter to “Liberal Democrats” instead of “Liberal Party” - thereby missing the whole point of the letter. I threatened to sue them for libel and i got an apology the next week.

It wasn't libellous though, John. Ignorant certainly.

Changing the wording of what I had written, to make it look as if I had written something which was completely different, was arguably libellous in that they were representing me as being as confused and ignorant as they were. Perhaps I exaggerated it a bit, but I wanted them to feel and understand how angry I was that I had been misrepresented.

She’s probably going to end up voting Lib Dem, isn’t she?
