Diana Johnson, my hopeless Labour MP, is trying desperately to cling onto her seat against the LibDem onslaught. One would think she would be trying to come out with public utterances that would make her popular with her constituents. Not Ms Johnson.
Last week, the LibDems at their conference in Bournemouth, announced they want the DNA of all people arrested but not convicted to be deleted from the database. They also want the maximum a terror suspect can be detained without charge reduced from 28 days to 14 days. Naturally, these are policies any libertarian like myself support.
In this post on her website she attacks the LibDems and tows the Labour Party line. Not very popular with the voters, but very much true to form for her. She has a habit of shooting herself in the foot. More of the same Diana. We may just get rid of you yet.

One can only hope.
It makes little difference just how poor Ms Johnson has shown herself to be. No matter how attached she is to party doctrine, how she will campaign for one side of an argument but vote for the opposite view when push comes to shove. No matter how politically anonymous she remains, doing nothing for the City or constituency she represents other than parrot out the party line. The people of Hull, or rather the 40% that bother to vote will send her back to parliament again. Unless something can be done to convince voters to unite behind a "single issue" independent candidate or to find a genuine personality and active campaigner who can garner support for another party then we are stuck with the current encumbrance, sorry incumbent, or whatever muppet in a smart suit the Labour party puts forward.
Made me smile to read a Conservative supporting the Libdems.. haha.. typical!
