What a splendid list of the most consistent critics of the CBI-EU, even before we see the terms brought back by David Cameron, of all people. "Workers' rights"? Where are they? "Minimum standards"? Minimal, indeed!

And what a joy to see Lanchester's finest, Pat Glass. Indeed, the showing by the North East is particularly impressive, considering that this is not the biggest of places.

Tonight, I shall raise a glass, so to speak, to Hilary Armstrong and to her preferred successor, Neil "Cut The Link"/"The Iraq War Was Right And Just"/"Britain Ought To Join The Euro"/"Shotley Bridge Was A Tip And Deserved To Close" Fleming.

Raise a glass, and laugh my head off.

  1. Pat is good but she ain't Lanchester's finest. It's a criminal act of treachery that Labour didn't pick you in 2005.

    1. For what?

      I won't hear a word against Pat. She is marvellous.

  2. She thinks the world of you. But you would have been shadow cabinet in the last parliament and a real leadership challenger now.

    1. Things aren't that bad. My rickety frame is, though.

  3. I'm surprised Neil Fleming ever managed to express such political opinions.

    1. Mr. Lindsay has well and truly finished him off, him and the other one, they'll never be county councillors in this ward, Fleming will never again be a parish councillor here and she'll never be one for the first time. So much for making Fleming chair of the parish council less than two years after he joined the party, now he is blacklisted from any public office and so is everybody who sleeps with him. Good work, Mr. Lindsay, you have done your community an important service.

  4. He has, but he could and would have done the party and the country great service if he hadn't been spitefully stopped by the CLP.

    1. I'd long ago have been invalided out, anyway. I like to think that George Galloway might have beaten Neil Fleming in the by-election.

    2. I love that idea. Of course you were never rejected by the branch as a council candidate, by the CLP as an NEC candidate or by the NEC as a candidate for MP. The Armstrong-Fleming Party prevented them from having any say on the matter because they knew what the result would have been.
