Would the voters of Blackpool South be interested in a recall petition?Looks like Scott Benton is going to be suspended from Parliament for longer than 10 days which will allow a recall petition to be called which will most likely end in a by-election.
Johnson was particularly keen on favouring red wall seats. Sunak quite simply isn't interested.Benton engages his mouth before his brain (assuming that is there). He is a loose cannon and lacks in so many areas, but (I can be fair) Blackpool has faired well from this Government, probably more than any other Labour Council of its size, because someone has been lobbying well.
Dont ask the south shore brigade a question like that, a tick or x in a box is hard enough for them.Would the voters of Blackpool South be interested in a recall petition?
I'll be at the border saying we don't want that ** here, thanks.A despicable individual, only interested in what's in it for himself.
Bentonite by name, Bent-one by nature.
I'll drive the bastard back to Yorkshire myself.
Might be his way back into Parliament…Johnson was particularly keen on favouring red wall seats. Sunak quite simply isn't interested.
Nah. He'll be flying his sectarian flag (not the Irish kind), after the GE along with all the other self-interested partizan groups on the Tory right.Might be his way back into Parliament…
I tend to agree but they have just announced this.Johnson was particularly keen on favouring red wall seats. Sunak quite simply isn't interested.
Rail numbers are back up to pre pandemic numbers round us and across most of the North, tbf. Capacity is a massive issue around Manchester in particular and HS2 was to help that, not journey times.I'm not disagreeing with Rishi Sunak being a technocrat who is Treasury through and through; but today they announced £20m for 54 towns on an endowment basis with community decision making at its heart - which is of course about removing some power from Local Authorities . It speaks some of the language of Levelling Up, which is what I was referring to in my response.
HS2, was never going beyond the 53rd Parallel to begin with, which is all fine and dandy for the Merseyside, Manchester, Greater Leeds communities, but absolutely pointless for the rest of the North beyond it.
If the billions which was going to be spent on it improves local transport, it won't be that much of a loss - and that's from someone who uses the East Coast Main Line an awful lot more than I'd like to have to. From experience, we don't have as many people using that line as we did, whether it's permanent in a post-Covid online meeting world, or a passing trend as people avoid rail travel due to strike disruption we need to wait and see.

An INCREDIBLE £370k per town, assuming it's distributed evenly. So... a couple of nice semis?
