Well at least you were more correct than I, Pablo (and so were Keith and Captain Haddock). Lost (5p) bets on hung parliament and Brexit Party winning more seats than the Greens. Got Rosie Duffield right but still out of pocket. Gutted!(Not my real name.) - Jan Higgins

13 December 2019 07:39360676Over 12,000 votes more than Labour and a really large turnout certainly made a difference, well done to Nathalie. I thought it would be a lot closer than that as Charlotte seemed quite popular.
As much as I dislike Boris he has shown that the country wanted a strong leader, something we have not had for quite a while, rather than dithering Corbyn.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

14 December 2019 10:13360694Brexit was the over Riding factor
And of course a lab leader who had a past that many who dislike what terrorists do got to close to
I'm sure Mr Corbyn is an honourable man but associating himself so closely with people who had bombed innocent families didn't do much to help the Labour cause
Of course labour's dithering over the EU didn't help them
I warned it all 2 years ago
All candidates work hard but it's about the national policies and whether people felt C C
Would be any better
Labour now has to refocus
They have a difficult Decision
Do they move away from the membership and left policies
Thus then not having the foot soldiers
To a more middle England
Soft tory type agenda but no foot soldiers
But maybe able to get into number 10
These fights will go on in the internal party which has already surfaced on TV
And will go on for some timeALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - Brian Dixon

14 December 2019 15:05360698keith, Corbyn wasn't the only politicion to cosy up to terrists,thatcher and blair all so had talks, but as things happen they were not branded terroist lovers. - 14 December 2019 15:48360699Keith Sansum1 wrote:I'm sure Mr Corbyn is an honourable man but associating himself so closely with people who had bombed innocent families didn't do much to help the Labour cause

Lol they didn't dither, they promised to get a good deal that worked for most people and then allow the people to vote on it. This who dithering thing was invented by the media to help Boris win by making it about Brexit because the tories had nothing else.
As for associating with terrorists....he condemned the violence by the IRA, he didn't cosey up to them. He worked with members of Sinn Fien to try and bring about peace because he believes, rightly so, that diplomacy ends conflicts.Beccy likes thisyoutube.com/chazwoldalmighty - Button

20 December 2019 13:18360764This has just landed in my inbox, pure waffle obviously written by the same person as those emails I used to receive from Charlie.
Considering the time of year the least I would have expected was a seasonal greeting of some kind to be included somewhere. Bah humbug and not a very good start......
"Let's get Brexit done and move forward
It is a great honour to have been elected to serve as your Member of Parliament. The strength of the result was the clearest possible direction from the people of Dover & Deal to get Brexit Done so we can move forward as a country.
And move on we need to do - to strengthen our economy, bring more of the jobs and the money we need to deliver better healthcare and the other public services on which we all rely.
Here in Dover & Deal, the district and county councils have a strong record of delivery – I will seek to work with our outstanding local councils so that together we can deliver even more.
Over the last decade, we have seen a transformation, as energy and ambition has grown in our community. We just need to look around us – from Deal seafront to the Dover Docks, to see the ambition that has led to the creation of more than 7,000 new jobs locally.
I will take forward our shared vision for a community with even more jobs and money, better healthcare, as well as stronger policing and borders. We need to see move investment in our roads and rail infrastructure as well as more good quality affordable housing in the right places and an education that sets our young people up for life.
We all know there is a big problem in mental healthcare provision – especially for children. I will do all I can to bring a renewed focus to make sure that improvements are made. It’s vital that young people in need are seen as swiftly as possible and entirely unacceptable that any young person should wait more than a year for treatment.
I will also dedicate myself and my service as your Member of Parliament to upholding the values of our White Cliffs. The values of decency, compassion, justice, kindness, hard work and fairness – of community and country, faith and friendship. These things matter. They make us the community that we are- and the country that we should be.
Finally I will always be there for those most in need. To ensure people get the healthcare treatment and housing help they need – including holding regular surgeries and community meetings. Anyone in need of help or assistance should email me at natalie.elphicke.mp@parliament.uk. I will work tirelessly for everyone – yet always put the most urgent cases at the top of the pile.
This week I have been in Westminster, hitting the ground running. There is a real job of work to do for our community - fighting for more jobs, better healthcare, increased investment – and, of course, to Get Brexit Done."-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously my understanding of "outstanding" is different to that of the writer, whoever it was.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
