I've watched Graham for some time running from pillar to post trying to help residents, hold surgeries and conduct party business at the same time. It's a wonder that he's still upright, I certainly couldn't keep that pace up and look after a family as well but he does everything exceptionally well.
In Hyndburn at least we should be grateful for what we've got. It could have been MUCH worse.

Tend to agree there Ken, in fact since I got involved in politics we've had 4 MPs Aurthur Davidson Ken Hargreaves, Greg Pope, and now Graham has taken on the mantle, think we've been rather lucky in Hyndburn over the years
