Give an example of where he could have lobbied locally?
For example as far as I know Hilden's no longer manufacture at Ossy Mills, which they have for decades, if not centuries. How could an MP fight to prevent the loss of textile jobs, when as a company they are facing competition from abroad, because of our desire for cheaper goods?
The company will make the best decision for themselves, which in this case is to carry on locally, but in Blackburn.
(I'm sure the birthday girl will correct me, if the major details are incorrect.)
