Given his criminal convictions it seems appropriate he's photographed behind bars Let's hope when, sorry if he gets elected, he'll be a bit more visible around the constituency than Denis Murphy. In all the years I've watched debates in the House of Commons on TV and in person, I've never once been able to spot Denis Murphy on the benches. While I don't expect our MP to become a media celebrity as some politicians, when a significant number of people here think their MP is Ronnie Campbell, after 13 years in office you know you're doing something wrong.

http://www2.labour.org.uk/ppc/ian_lavery/898/ Can it be that what our prospective MP thinks about Nu Labour is unprintable? Hell, it's got Labour on the tin, so you're going to vote for it anyway Wansbeck! Why waste effort with policies and all that garbage?

I first met Mr Lavery after leaving school and joined a Y.O.P. (Youth opportunities Programme) at Ashington Technical College. Then I started work at Lynemouth Colliery with said Mr Lavery, then got my mining craft apprenticeship with Mr Lavery, then transferred to Ellington Colliery with Mr Lavery, then went to a Ashington Colliery training centre with Mr Lavery, then spent nearly five years at Ashington Technical College mining department with Mr Lavery. Yes you could say I know Mr Lavery very well! I wouldn't trust him as far as I could kick him!
