don’t understand it all, if he was a man of principle and seeks to take it to the people, then why fight it in a constituency that he knows he can return a majority, fight it in a constituency where there is no clear majority, but then he may not get is job back! I do have a few unanswered questions. Does a resigning MP get severance pay i.e a lump of money, if so how much, who pays for the bye election, if it the local council and its estimated at 30K, i guess that a least one home help for a year that no one is going to see

Interesting about the Kelvin challenge – if it happens (and this may be an empty threat) it shows up the stark choice between two sorts of politics in this country. Murdoch has been forced to finally go direct to the public rather than indulging in shadowplay with party leaders to get what he wants in return for News International endorsement. After decades of getting what he wants he now has the funds which the Labour party lack to enter the fray without a proxy. It’s the logical progression of the moral, if not financial, bankruptcy that has been driving government policy for decades.

He faces a man who is putting principle above everything else, including the health & safety of his own party.

I know which I’d vote for.
