Wish Kate Hoey was our MP.. I see UKIP and Conservatives have chosen Female Lawyers as candidates.. haven't heard them yet though Has anyone else?

As a Kipper in Labour's clothing I don't think she'd stand much chance here. I hope LibDems unseat her.

Was Tony Benn a "kipper" in Labour's clothing? Was Bob Crowe a "kipper" in union clothing? Galloway, "kipper" too? (Not sure about his clothing though).

Perhaps they are all real Labour, I certainly think they were/are.

Don't see how Benn fits in there, but Crowe and Galloway? Why not. But Hoey's cosying up to Farage was particularly poignant.

What would Victor Meldrew have said to this outrageous treatment ?

I am appalled at this message Mr Coyle sent one of his constituents.

I thought that a Member of Parliament is supposed to represent and fight for all who live in his constituency, not just those who voted him in, or those who do not have the audacity to publicly criticize his ways.

I find this behaviour petty, mean, and high-handed.

What upset me was that it wasn't me he let down; it was an 11-year-old boy. To then see in his promotional material that he boasts of helping loads of constituents with precisely the matter I was going to him about on behalf of my son was a slap in the face.

Between Labour and Lib Dem, there's not much of a choice in Southwark & Bermondsey.

Both candidates have histories of double-talking, and the campaign material - especially the Lib Dem stuff - is more about how bad the other parties are than anything to do with what their own parties stand for (Brexit aside).

It's hardly an appetising choice...

The more these polls narrow, the more likely I am to return to Labour, it will grate on me because I'm not a fan of Coyle.
I will also have a few apologies to make after claiming Corbyn has no chance, Brexit's a stumbling block, but then there are so many stumbling blocks if the Tories win. Interesting....and confusing.

I was going to hold my nose and vote for Hughes as a tactic to make sure Coyle doesn't win and on 9th June Labour is left in no doubt whatsoever that Corbynism is a cancer liability that needs to be removed. Then the Lib Dems deceptive letter proporting to be from a doctor rather than the Lib Dems arrived. With that I decided to vote Tory. Put simply; a pox on both their houses.

Either Coyle or Hughes will be elected in this constituency.

Voting Tory will have the same effect as not voting at all.

It all boils down to having a say on which of the only two candidates with a chance one prefers, or hates the least...
