That sounds like Keeping the Dream Alive by Münchener Freiheit! They were the German Eurovision entrants in 1993. Came 18th. It deserved a much better result imo |

No chance of a Tory winning Workington and Whitehaven. Labour will have won Whitehaven yesterday and all the Tory bits of Allerdale would be in the Penrith seat. Should the boundary changes go through and Trudy Harrison wants to stay in parliament she will have to follow Bootle into the Barrow constituency. Well maybe I'm being too alarmist. But in the general election the Corbyn factor will loom much larger. And the hospital factor may have subsided by then. Oh yes there is a chance. Now the mould is broken and everyone feels there is a sort of permission to do what the former member did and change course.....who knows. I would not be at all surprised to see this slip away as long as the LDs do not gain a footing and UKIP diminish. |

While I'm happy (if that's the right word and I don't think it really is) to blame Corbyn for the loss for both (how shall we say) climatic AND weather reasons, fyck this guy frankly. Hunt at least held a safe seat and was offered the job of a lifetime; this prick held a marginal (in present political conditions) and was offered some PR job for the nuclear industry. Yuck. |

Ian Lavery tells Brillo that the people are terrified and living in fear. What he doesn't seem to understand is that it is fear of Labour getting into office, which is why they just voted Tory in Copeland for the first time in 80 years Delusional idiot. I think Labour's problems are even worse than I thought. Oh! I saw that too. What complete wanker the man is and as delusional as AC points out. Much better to be factual and frank like Carswell was when he said it was a better fought and organized campaign (at Stoke) by the party but they had a way to go yet before it was fully acceptable, and that Nuttall had made mistakes that had affected the result. Job done. Bit of respect to the speaker and not much to follow up on. Lavery just kept up a stonewall bluster and waffle as he dug his hole deeper and deeper and deeper. Andrew N was toasting him on a grill and he was just far too great nerk to realize it. Where do Labour find these people and why let them be MPs? Really no one better in the whole of the north-east than that prat? And once stuffed with him............Don't let him near a microphone or camera!! Just saying!!! |

He's got great policies about how NUM funds should be spent, maybe he should share them, are after all they have really profited some NUM members.

Given that this is what else Northumberland Labour have come up with, no. |

Really no one better in the whole of the north-east than that prat? There is also this clown.  Apart from Dennis Skinner [ancient] and Ronnie Campbell [ancient and terminally stupid], the only Campaign Group MP to not get a front bench job. Hagrid Dave Anderson, despite first appearances, is a bit better, still totally tribal and a follower of dinosaur loony left ideas, but is slightly less thick. Still, the fact he is in cabinet is ludicrously overplaying his meagre abilities. About as qualified to be Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland as I am to run the Grand National. The women are significantly better. |

What is it about the north-east and Labour? They seem to be choosing quite useless ignorant fools to represent them? Is it because they like to be represented by fools, or because they are just the same themselves and like being represented by one of their own?

The old adage of the donkey and the red rosette seems to apply for a number of the north east seats. Some of the labour MPs are ok but others (like the examples Joe gives) are pretty rubbish. It's the same with the women. Roberta Blackman-Woods is alright as far as labour representatives go. Would love to see a conservative gain in Bishop Auckland to remove Helen Goodman, but don't think it'll happen sadly (particularly if the boundary changes go through in their present form). |

Of course, as the Tory colour in large parts of the North East used to be red, this is a long standing tradition....  |

Summary - and I have been really quite generous. I mean we have a few of hopeless cases, David Tredinnick etc., but the sheer number of Labour NE MPs who are just hopeless is staggering. Largely in extremely safe Labour seats, largely hard left, almost universally Union yes men.
In London very few, if any would fail to make the second list.
Those in the cities rather than ex mining areas are generally better, women are generally better than men.
Those Insufficiently Intellectually able to do the Job
Dave Anderson
Ronnie Campbell
Mad [totally crazy] Mary Glindon
Helen Goodman - [actually not stupid by any means, but comically politically unaware, out of touch and not on the ball despite being in politics her entire life]
Stephen Hepburn
Sharon Hodgson
Ian Lavery
Emma Lewell-Buck
Andy McDonald
Ian Mearns
Grahame Morris
Phil Wilson
The Acceptable
Roberta Blackman Woods
Nick Brown
Jenny Campbell
Kevan Jones
Tom Blenkinsopp
Alan Campbell

Anna Turley
Julie Elliot

In the case of Blaydon, UNISON employed consultants to secure the selection, after their delegates voted against an AWS. |

As can be seen below, the Conservatives are putting across a relevant local, in touch message in the North East.

How do you get to be such an expert on Labour MP's?? I have never heard of any of them, let alone formed an opinion! As a matter of fact the only current Labour MP I have ever met was Rachael Reeves, and I was not impressed! She would have made a plausible Tory though.. ah yes, I have met Fabian Hamilton and Jon Trickett as well, but so long ago that the memory has faded! |

I don't see why blocking people on Twitter makes someone unhinged. spending too much time on it is pointless, but that might presumably apply to you as much as him. Spending too much time on this forum is, of course, completely different as I'm sure you would agree.  |
