Breaking News 2: Cllr John 'Two Jobs' Leech MP "Considering His Position"

TODAY 11:40 AM
COUNCILLOR JOHN Leech MP is today said to be considering his position after ongoing criticism for:

- A Hospital Closure and other Hoaxes
- Doing Two Jobs Badly
- Having Breathtakingly High Expenses
- Breaking Commons Protocols
- Associating With Duplicitous Politicians
- Signing Whacky Commons Motions
- Allegedly Overspending At Elections
- Being a Media Tart But Facing Relegation
- Procuring £23,000 From One Donor

A person "close to the MP" said he was faced with a difficult choice between returning to Manchester and taking up an offer to lead the Lib Dem Group in the Town Hall, while resuming work on behalf of neglected ward residents. Or continuing to get slapped down in parliament. In some 29 spoken contributions to Commons debates there was only one in which he had not been slapped down for schoolboy errors. And that was one of the five Lib Dem opposition debates. Do the Maths.

The insider categorically denied that the MPs bout of confusion and self-doubt was anything to do with Labour's selection of the strong local candidate Lucy Powell who was born and bred in the constituency and has the demonstrable connections and experience to actually get things done for Manchester Withington instead of talking the area down.

"He will not be relishing getting walloped at the polls. He is certainly not likely to be offered a peerage when he fails. But this has absolutely nothing to do with his crisis of conscience."

"This is all off the record, right?" they added, too late.
