John Leech MP: Further Useless Parliamentary Efforts

John Leech MP was an embarrassment to the people of Manchester Withington constituency when one week ago he had the opportunity to set the tone for Prime Minister's Questions but instead ineptly asked an inept question about an inept strategy he's taken almost three years to come up with.

Viz: Turn the upcoming public vote on the Greening of Manchester Transportation into a Vote for "Don't Know".

This week in a debate on the related area of Air Transport, in which area of Liberal Democrat endeavour he shares the portfolio with that other doomed North West Lib Dem dummy Mark Hunter MP, the level of esteem in which he is held by the house became very very clear indeed. Twice our man in Westminster asked speakers to "give way" - not bothering with speakers from his own party as they've given up on him - and twice he was told to butt out and sit down.



Well done to Tom Harris MP and Graham Stringer MP for keeping the hospital hoaxing, transport referendum muddying, McDonalds supporting, umm err umm merchant out of the debate entirely. There is no need to go to the URLs. Mr Leech's full speeches are included in the above short sharp snap.

But what is the root of Mr Leech's misery and piss poor performance?

Earlier this week I can be told some insider information, from someone that can only be described as a well wisher, that I think I can share in the spirit of positive futures for one and all and hands reached across partisan politics. As demonstrated so well by Cam and Gord in today's love in.

1. NOW HE IS ONE Mr Leech DOES NOT WANT TO BE AN MP;
2. Mr Leech WOULD RATHER BE BACK ON THE COUNCIL in proper lifelong opposition, for which he is at least very slightly slightly suited;
3. Mr Leech MISSES HIS MUM and is embarrassed to have failed to even deliver on a promise to finally move back into the constituency;
4. Mr Leech knows that his former Council Ward, now known as Chorlton Park, is going to HELL IN A HANDCART even faster than it was under his stewardship;
5. Mr Leech knows he STILL DOESN'T FILL HIS SUIT, except for in his FAT AND UNFIT muddle regions;
6. Mr Leech is FRIGHTENED OF BEING SHOWN UP and will not debate issues with non-MPs lest they outshine him;
7. Mr Leech knows that without the slightest doubt HE IS A MACCIE D CLOWN.

Mr Leech comes back to Manchester on Westminster days at any excuse. Back to propose that a Tree Preservation Order be lifted - the unanimous view of the parties and officers anyway and that a couple of lean to's be correctly built (ditto).

He comes back to promote homophobia ("Homophobia is Gay") and to blame students not being quiet as church mice for their peers getting attacked and raped.

And of course he comes back to stuff forests of paper through people's doors and try to save his seat. Even though it is making him desperately unhappy and he wants out. In essence he campaigns like a councillor because he stills desperately wants to be one. That's his level and he wants it back. Sad but true.

ADVERTISEMENT: the next chance to NOT HEAR John Leech in a debate, in Manchester this time rather than in Westminster, will be tomorrow night, Thursday 13th November, at Parrs Wood School, from 7:15pm.

Where useless Lib Dem Leech will NOT be on the panel, NOT be making a speech, NOT be explaining his fudging, NOT be showing leadership or clarity. And finally we must hope NOT be serving of a further term in parliament.
