On his profile he looks to be a nice person - we can all make mistakes the important thing is to learn from them...

As I've said, I think he is a good man.
He 'could' have been a good, representative, local M.P...for Hyndburn.
I honestly don't think he actually realises just how alienated from, and disgusted by, ordinary people are with Labour, after Blair/Brown.
He won Hyndburn.
It was most certainly not the Labour ticket, that came attatched to him, that secured the victory.
We hoped that attatchment was stronger to the people, than the party.
We now sadly know it isn't.
