Where on Squires Gate Lane will the cabinet be placed and will he be kept inside it?
 
With Gove being sacked, there's every chance Scott will be Chancellor for an hour or so tomorrow.

Durr no one's 'told me', I've listened to him on radio Lancashire. You may disagree, but that's a matter for you 69 👍

Each to their own 585, I'm not committed to any party but the couple of times I heard him he just sounded like he was playing the politician game and quite badly at that.

I'm not connected to a party & no longer live in Blackpool, so I don't have a clue if he's doing a half decent job or not.
I don't think much of MP's in general, but the two occasions I've heard him speak 0n 103.9 (thankfully I can still tune into that in Cheshire - but never Graham Liver), he came across very well - that's not to say that what he said was truthful or he wasn't playing a political game etc.

He’s done more for Blackpool in 2 years than Gordon Marsden did in 3 decades.
And he lives locally not on the south coast like Marsden did.

Wasn't talking about what he has done, and I'm not disputing what you are saying, we were talking about wether he came across like your standard twatty politician.
 
Not my own work but here's a list of things my local MP has been up to during the last 3 years. I'm sure some of you will agree with a lot of what he's done; some of you won't.

I’d vote for about 20 of them right now. 👍

Sounds like a right-on kinda guy. 🤪
 
Nothing wrong in anyone criticising the national football team taking the knee.

Very few countries bother with it these days as it’s long served it’s purpose.

Take it you don’t live in Blackpool then?

Neither do I but I know several things he’s heavily involved with in south shore if you followed him on Facebook you would know.

I can’t honestly say what Marsden achieved in 30 years he was an MP and I was a Blackpool resident back then for 15 of those years.

He was also in bed (not literally) with the Oyston’s never once condemned them.

Yes, I live in FY4, I've not seen one single improvement down to him?

What are the the things he's done? I'm genuinely interested in what I've missed.

I also agree that Marsden did fuck all.
 
Well this was a post off him a day ago knocking on the doors of people in Marton.

I’ll compile a list of other things he’s involved with and send them on to you.

All Jaffa's interested in is the airport. He doesn't give a shit about anything else. If he would vote for 20 of those things, then I despair.
And he doesn't even live in Blackpool.

What a tit you are.

You seriously need help pal if you link me with him.

And why anyone would support foreign aid is totally beyond me charity starts at home not abroad.

And as for taking the knee it’s served it purpose time to ditch it.

And as for bringing the death penalty back why wouldn’t for for certain cases? We just might not get as many murders of police officers, innocent children, and terrorists blowing people up if they knew what the outcome would be.

I could go on but I won’t.

Tit
You moan about everything wrong in the world today but never offer advice on how you would fix it.
Not worth the effort of arguing with a clueless tit, you always pull the old racist card out I’ve noticed when you don’t agree with someone.
You have very poor form of blaming everyone in the world and what’s wrong with it today and it’s so so boring hearing the same thing day in day out so a good day from me it’s just not worth the effort far better things in life than arguing with an idiot as there’s enough on here already.

... and not one comma.

You must be breathless after that.

Still, Scott Benton will soon come to the rescue when he's in the Cabinet.
