Damned if we do and damned if we don't

Dunston Hill and Whickham East is one of the marginal wards we hold in Gateshead. It should be Labour with a comfortable majority but we gained it when the boundaries were redrawn three years ago.

Labour have put out a claim that we do not consult people, bizarrely on decisions of the Labour run council. The claim is rubbish. We spend a great deal of time carrying out surveys in the ward.

So the letters column of The Journal, our regional morning paper, this morning made for interesting reading. Now we are being attacked by the Labour party for, errrr, well carrying out consultation.

Seems as though we are damned if we do and damned if we don't (even when the don't is a does!)

Alas, we are very familiar with antics of the Labour candidate in the ward. He spend three years trying to get elected in my ward. The end result of his activities was a collapse in his vote!
