Chi Onwurah, Labour’s Newcastle newbie, asked at a meeting of the new MPs last week whether attendance today was strictly compulsory as she already had somewhere better to be. It turns out she had been asked to call the bingo numbers in her constituency.

To be honest, despite your rather colourful rhetoric, I would have thought that honouring the commitments to her constituents was more important, don't you think?

Chi Onwurah, Labour MP for Newcastle Central, has made a point that she will not stand on ceremony in her battle to get the best for the region and keep in touch with voters.
What is there to object about that?

You wouldn't be getting a bit tribal with your politics, now would you.

The sad thing is some people still think labour did a good job and would sort everything out with their magic bag of money if they did get back into power.
Hmm, but apart from some much needed regeneration funding for Blackpool and some civil servants' bonuses (which, as I am led to believe, was contractual), no real examples of these spending decisions seem to be very forthcoming.

Don't all governments do this when they first take power?
