I helped out in the by-election, I wasn't responsible for the fact that there was one. At the time it was my first involvement in a national election which was very interesting. In hindsight it was, as you protested at the time, a needless by-election which cost the taxpayer a lot of money.
Graham has now confirmed that he doesn't intend to stand down and cause a by-election. He's instead going to remain a county and district councillor if he is to be elected Hyndburn's MP.
