Manchester Evening News and Metro: Completely Miss The Stories on Cazzi

Disappointing. While the Metro (our Friday delivered one, not the bus-sheet) held the front page for the story they've rather missed it. As have the semi-detached Manchester Evening News.

Cllr John Leech MP and his opportunist colleagues voted AGAINST Manchester in the Commons. Followed by Lib Dem loony peers fronting the destruction of the Statutory Instrument and end of all 17 new casinos in the Lords.

It is true that 12 Labour Lords were also revolting and the Lords whipping was a sad failure.

But this completely NAILS the idea that the Manchester Lib Dems have even the slightest influence over their parliamentary colleagues. They cannot even influence Leech.

Unless that is Simple Simon is saying one thing in public but egging on his disgraceful wreckers in private? You never know. Stranger things have happened. Meanwhile, as predicted on this blog (in comments), Barbara Silly MP collected herself and Barbara Keeley MP did not vote against Manchester. Well done.
