She is the Chosen One, the Red Queen, the light at the centre of the Morning Star. She is Laura Pidcock, famous for Pidcock's Paragraph.
And as the Member of Parliament for a constituency that voted 55 per cent Leave, she voted for the Customs Union, for a second referendum, understandably enough for Labour's plan, for membership of EFTA and the EEA on the "Common Market 2.0" model, against No Deal, and against contingent preferential trade arrangements. She abstained on revoking Article 50, and on remaining in the EEA while rejoining EFTA outside the Customs Union.
By contrast, Dennis Skinner voted against the Customs Union, against a second referendum, for Labour's plan, against "Common Market 2.0", against revoking Article 50, for No Deal, against contingent preferential trade arrangements, and for EFTA outside the Customs Union.
Ronnie Campbell went even further. He voted for No Deal, and he voted for EFTA outside the Customs Union, but he voted against everything else, even including Labour's plan. By the way, I would have voted against EFTA as well. Get Frank Field on your table at the bingo, because he voted against all eight motions, and they were all defeated.
Pidcock would have you believe that she was of Skinner's and Campbell's ilk, and that she was in their league. But she is neither. And Campbell will retire at the next General Election, while Skinner, not to put too fine a point on it, is 87. Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.
It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

Pidcock's Wikipedia page says: "Pidcock was a councillor on Northumberland County Council and having been defeated by the Conservative Party candidate in the 2017 local elections, she relinquished her opportunity to stand again in 2017 UK local elections,[7] to allow her to stand for parliament." What does that even mean? She lost her seat on Northumberland County Council in 2017. She didn't "relinquish" anything.
