She simply de-housed the riff-raff and shipped in the tory toffs.

We were very grateful too.

I had somewhere handy for Hyde Park, to keep my horse.

So in will come Gladys Sandiford and co, out will go Marlene Haworth, Brian Roberts, Peter Clarke to Blackburn.

In effect I cannot see under any circumstances the strong Conservative Ass from Rawtensall taking one blind bit of notice of Peter Britcliffe and any slight hope he had of standing again for Parliament would be dashed automatically by these new boundaries.

The real boundaries come out on September the 12th.

Perhaps Graham can get one from the House of Commons - they chuck out office furniture when it's about a year old. He could then give it to Peter, to go with his HBC desk.

He's there for another 4 years, ain't he? Unless, of course, the Lib-Dems decide to get out of bed with the Tories.

RIP Hyndburn with Haslingden

The Boundary Commission this morning announced the passing away of the Hyndburn with Haslingden Constituency. There will be no funeral; instead, the body will be divided in two; the right half will become part of Dingle land and the left half will be blasted into the wildlands of somewhere called Darwen and Haslingden.

Flowers may be sent to everyone in the constituency, but especially to Graham Jones, M.P.
