As such they can almost( I said ALMOST) be forgiven for their short comings.
This is NOT the case with out MP. He has worked at something other than politics. I would imagine he knows what it is like to try to make ends meet, to struggle to get a mortgage...and then to pay for it. In short he has lkived the life of a working person.
That makes his treatment of us...the people of Accrington even worse. It is a betrayal of the worst kind because it is a calculated betrayal in order for him to climb the political ladder. He is prepared to walk over us to satisfy his ambitions.

He's just starting his career, he's ignored the wants of his constituents but not his party, he is going to be a useful tool for them.
Just watch if (and I hope it's when) at the next election our town throws him out, the powers that be within his party will move him to a constituency that knows nothing about him except that he has been a loyal labour supporter, that will be enough to keep him sucking up, he's good at that, then betraying the people he's meant to represent.
He will never, ever, be short of a bob or two anymore, I hope one day his conscience prevents him from sleeping at night.
