I don't agree with national politicians batting for both teams. Labour politicians in this case and more often than not many cases. eg.Hazel Blears on hospitals. I was embarrassed by their actions. What you say about me is just ridiculous, insulting and demeaning.
I joined the Council because I was fed up with people always trying to pull the wool over ordinary people, Labour and Tory. That was my motivation. Nothing has changed.
I accept Conservatives like your good self are there to do everything possible to shoot me down. It's what old school politics is about. Ignore the issues and throw mud.
I agree with Cameron on sleazy politics. But Blair said the same! I think I am one of the few that believe Cameron actually does mean it, I never thought Blair did, and I admire him for that. If we have a Conservative Government, I hope Cameron's legacy is that he cleaned up politics.
The real world is events beyond your control. Such as Derek Conway paying family members. Cameron dealt with it well. I didn't hold it over Cameron personally and I think to a large extent, you shouldn't hold me to account so cyncially when it has little to do with me in reality.
Hyndburn politics is morally corrupt. Except this time it's coming from the blue corner. I don't care about your view on this as it's an issue of personal moral principle, and something that got me into politics in the beginning. We have to clean Hyndburn politics up and make sure this corruption never happens again.
I guess your on Britcliffe's team and we'll just have to disagree.

It's interesting you would accuse me of mounting a slur campaign and in the same breath call me an “old school politician”, implying the only reason I disagree with you is party affiliation. Attacking you for your irrelevant comments about
any party's past actions is not a slur – it's an important point because you're misleading people.
I've been watching the post office debate in parliament all day. Was very interesting. In the end the opposition lost the vote by only 20. This means the post office closures will be going ahead because the Conservatives and Liberals didn't have enough votes.
I congratulate the Labour MP's who rebelled and voted to save the post offices. I don't have a list now but I know Gordon Prentice the Pendle Labour MP is one of them.
