Crewe & Nantwich by-election could be dreadful!
10:54am Wednesday 7th May 2008
THE Crewe and Nantwich by-election looks like it's going to be close. The idea of a Tory MP for our area fills me with dread. They already run the council (badly!), and without a strong voice to stand up for us, I'm concerned the council will ride roughshod over Crewe. Especially given that Mr Timpson appears to be a wealthy rural Cheshire type - I don't see what this remote figure can offer working people in Crewe.
I met Gwyneth's daughter, Tamsin, today and I was very impressed. I've always been a Labour voter, and I don't see any reason to change that. My impression is that she's well prepared to carry on our wonderful former MP's legacy.
