Apparently, if elected, the Labour candidate would become the youngest councillor in the country.

Fairly safe seat, for the Tories to go to the trouble of sending Warsi up.

Saw the Baroness on Question Time, some time past, and she genuinely impressed me. Common sense, talked by a sensible northern lass, even if she is from Yorkshire. Spoke well on the need for equality for all.

Sadly doesn't support civil partnerships, and associated legal benefits. So lost my admiration, for being yet one more hypocrite. Supports equality issues, as long as it's for race, or gender, and not for what she called sinners.

Right on, sister.

THE CHAIRMAN of the Conservative Party was pitted against an 18-year-old novice as the battle for a council by-election intensified.

Political heavyweight Baroness Sayeeda Warsi came to Hyndburn yesterday to knock on doors and meet party activists ahead of the crucial Baxenden by-election.

Not very good judgement on Ed Milliband's part giving Phil Woolas the shadow immigration brief knowing that the result of this court action was imminent . Surely he must have gone to the trouble of finding out the nature of the lies Woolas put into print .

This thread is of general interest, people on here think I have a hot line to Britcliffe, which is as fare from the truth as saying Tony Blair was as honest as the day is long. Up to May 2001 I was totally involved in local politics, now I'm not even a member of the party, I have more friends on Ac Web than the Tory Party, friends being classed as people who are their for you. When I came out of hospital last year I received a get well message from the leader of the Labour group on HBC, I think I'll say no more now on that subject. The only contact I have from the TP now is Cllr Brian Walmsley and Ken Hargreaves and that's it and to be quite honest that's just how I like it
