mjmooney Posted May 23 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23 (edited) Quote Conservative MP Stuart Andrew, who has represented Pudsey since 2010, told the Yorkshire Evening Post in an exclusive interview that his name will be absent from the ballot paper when voters go to the polls in two new constituencies – Leeds West and Pudsey, and Leeds North West. They were created out of the current Pudsey constituency, which will be abolished at the next general election as a result of a boundary review. He said: “I have written to my members to say that I won't be standing in either of the two seats that are being created. The reason for that is that when I was first selected for this constituency, I took the view that this was not just about trying to win the next election. It was about having a 20-year plan for the constituency. "I still think that the new Leeds North West seat is winnable, but it requires someone who can give that 20 year commitment, so I think it needs someone younger than me. “I haven't ruled myself out from standing somewhere else, but I am just considering at the moment.” He added: “If I do stand again, wherever I stand, I will be giving it my all. I don't believe that you can ever turn up in a seat and just expect a win. You have to work your socks off. That's what I've done for the last 20 years here.” YEP My MP, held last time by the thinnest of margins. I was so looking forward to seeing him trounced on July 4th. Clearly knows he's toast, and now desperately begging for a safe seat elsewhere. Good luck with that, you weasel. The excuse is that he's too old to do a '20 year plan' in Leeds NW - but somehow, he's young enough to do one in a safe seat. Shrödinger's Tory.

Genie Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Oh dear, Lee Anderson would be proud Quote Rishi Sunak has taken questions from two men dressed in hi-vis clothing at a warehouse in Derbyshire who turned out to be Conservative councillors. The prime minister was visiting a biscuit distribution centre in the marginal constituency of Erewash, where he gave a stump speech to people who appeared to be employees of the business. He took unchallenging questions from two men who were later found to be Conservative politicians link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that 3k isn't loose change to him anyway. Avoiding the 1k isn't about saving a grand, it's not having to admit he lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
