Teresa Pearce MP

Having just watched Newsnight I am very angry. Apparently some backbench MPs are circulating a letter to try to force the Prime Minister from office the night before national elections.  I am not wanting to debate here the rights or wrongs of Gordon Brown but what I am angry about is that MPs who should be out knocking on doors and getting the vote out are instead in the westminister villlage indulging in smoke and mirrors gutless back stabbing behind the usual “off record” briefings and “friends of” nonsense. Either put up or shut up.

If the grassroots is what they want to connect with then how about joining those grassroots and getting out and doing some work. I am happy to send those people a picture of a front door in case they have forgotten what one looks like during their years of navel gazing. There are hardworking councillors throughout the country who may lose their seats tomorrow and they are the real backbone of the party. Those local councillors dont spent their time touring the Sky TV studios or plotting in tearooms but in delivering services to the people who needs them. The people who depend on us and deserve better than this.
