I don’t ever think I’ve seen such an interesting, intense and at times completely pathetic election campaign as the one being played out in Stoke-on-Trent Central.
In fact I’ve wondered if any of the main contenders are really trying to win it, when it looks to all intents and purposes as though they are doing their level best to lose it!
It’s been an interesting few days for all concerned on the campaign trail in Stoke-on-Trent Central.
We had the former and current leader of UKIP ‘egged’ in Hanley town centre, a concert hall full of U-kippers, and a smattering of NorScarf protesters outside objecting to their presence – which I’m calling a Marmite protest because they aren’t to everyone’s taste and I need to keep up the food theme in the title.
It’s been a fascinating campaign for all concerned in the upcoming by-election with all the main contenders having their problems.
First off UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has come unstuck over the address he declared on his nomination papers.
The Labour Party in North Staffordshire is spectacularly good at shooting itself in the foot it seems.
Paul Farrelly the Labour Party member of parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme has this evening voted against a 3line whip in the Article 50 debate imposed by his leader Jeremy Corbyn.
