Bradford have elected someone who will do squat for them. A professional contrarian whose 'beliefs' seems to revolve around a naive and simplistic notion that the West is always at fault. The Falklands belong to Argentina, not because of any rational and logical argument, but because of 'British Imperialism' and he will continue to rail against such Imperialism with great oratory to the delight of his fans but refuse to engage in any substance. That is on what he has based a career in politics in.
Still, at least the people of Bradford West get to see their name on a byline during one of his many forthcoming interviews in lieu of seeing it in a a parliamentary voting record.
The only good that can come of this is more pressure on Ed Miliband to step aside and get someone in who knows what they are doing.

I heard him say catagorically that his expenses were zero pounds so some one's telling lies, given the number of time he's been to court and proven libled I'll go with him especially as his name would have been top of the pile during the expenses scandle.
