The attempt to deslect Kate Hoey was, after a good debate soundly beaten. Unfortunately some types with clearly too much time on their hands just can't let it go and feel the need to leak to your albeit fine blog. Thankfully they're not in touch with the wider electorate or indeed Party Membership. Long live hard working MPs with the ability to think for themselves. Even if they do ocacsionally make a right mess of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
