    That’ll annoy the ‘city comrades’ as usual ☺ Never mind – Peter and Caroline can concentrate on their constituency duties, writing articles for the various city news rags, and looking for photo opportunities, instead.

    He who voted ‘no’ for the mansion tax and ‘yes’ for the bedroom tax. He also voted for welfare cuts and MPs huge pay rise. That tells you all you need to know about Mr Kirby. Traitor to the poor, working classes and the disabled. Not in my name.
