    She might be social distancing.

    Your right I am familiar with his work and views I was more interested in how people thought of him and how he was doing in their opinion.

    Selby is a Tory safe seat after boundary changes in 2010 after it was Labour for a good few years.

    You can't just leave it like that while there remains some doubt!

    He didn't back the leader of his party and therefore played a huge hand in a continued Conservative government. I don't care if he had reservations, you back your leader. I witnessed a fantastic speech from Jeremy Corbyn from the steps of the NUM building at the bottom of Victoria Road. Anyone who claims that man lacked passion is repeating the Tory doctrine, not speaking from experience. Jarvis wasn't there to introduce him. He snubbed him, that's outrageous. He's a career politician not a man of value. He's one of the reasons we're in this ****. I hope he doesn't sleep at night, but I imagine someone with so little substance will be off like a baby.

    I have my own experiences re: Jarvis too which would lead me to believe you are basically correct in what you say. I cant be arsed expounding now as I have done so in the past. He also distanced himself from Corbyn in his election literature ( but maybe that was a tactical decision to keep the vote up) However I don't hope the guy can't sleep......

    I wrote to her expressing my disgust at her interview on the BBC where she sought to defend him. Not had a reply yet.

    I take it you mean the leader who did very little to support the parties view on Brexit in 2016.

    Yes. And well received it was too. A very well worded letter in the face of - well lets be polite - "rather mixed messages from our ruling elite."

    I did not vote for the current powers that be - but by god the truth will very much out going forward.... Oooops - gone off at a tangent - but please get my drift in answer to your original question!

    I have e-mailed my elected MP several times over the years and each one, on every occasion has replied, Stephanie Peacock is no exception to this

    Hes actually done a proper job before going into politics. Of course being ex Army myself I'm slightly more enthusiastic about this than others might be.

    We get somebody else's choice if we follow that logic don't we? Wouldn't proportional representation be better for us? Your vote would carry through to Parliament then, rather than be on a winning or losing candidate.

    Sorry... but prior to the lock down she was out and about engaging with local folk...along with doing walk rounds with both local councilors and visiting local community groups
    She has also done a lot of work with Johnny Wood in Cudworth who's sister got killed when she was hit by a lorry that 3 got nicked and are doing time for ...
    So sorry but I think you are being a bit harsh on the lass with the she doesnt do face to face comment..

    Proper job, Is that where you do as your told without question? Also, it is a relatively short. ‘ career’ ( and by that I don’t mean if you unfortunately get killed or seriously injured) Of course joining the armed forces can and does mean you get deployed to dangerous situations/ environments, so in no way am I belittling anyone. You say you are ‘slightly more enthusiastic’ sounds more like bias to me. In the past many politicians ( particularly Labour) came from industry ( proper jobs) and very humble backgrounds. They by and large knew and understood their constituents. Of course nowadays that’s changed and not always for the better. My experience talking to ex armed forces family and friends is that I wouldn’t say it is particular great grounding for a political career, certainly not advantageous over other occupations.

    I work with a Counsellor who is fairly close to Steph, and assures me she is the most hard-working person she has met and is totally focussed.
