Both local blogs asked each Kensington candidate to reply to a set of questions,
Only one candidate exhaustively answered the questions set and that was the newly elected MP for the constituency.
The others could not be bothered....
So, thank you Felicity Buchan and good luck.
Emma Dent Coad knocked on our door to see if we would vote for her. My mum thought she would make a good Avon Lady. Emma Dent Coad
ReplyDeleteEDC got 16600 votes. Only 100 votes less than the Conservative. Not to be ignored or taken for granted
DeleteThe Tory majority was 150 votes in excess of Labour. Sam Gyimah got nine thousand votes not to be sneezed at either. However, one is enough to win and Dent Coad lost- no bones about it- so take heed. No point trying to dice and slice it differently.
DeleteEmma Dent Coad spoke about decency in her speech where she accepted defeat. Shame her lot were not decent when she won in 2017. Didn't one of her acolytes reduce Lady Borwick's son to tears.
What a primitive comment and analysis from Eagle!
ReplyDeleteThere is much in Kensington that is non Party political. Starting with Grenfell. If Felicity Buchan is a "big" person she could start with the magnanimous gesture of reaching out to Dent Coad. There could be no more powerful healing gesture than the two ladies working out where they could pursue bipartizan initiatives. Apart from the significance of the equal vote secured by EDC and Buchan, EDC has a massive amount of front line political experience - in Kensington and in Westminster. Up to now, Buchan has been a back room person. She would not know a voter if she saw one.
One of the first things the two of them could do is to jointly wish all Kensington residents "A Happy Christmas". What a significant gesture that would be.
Come on Felicty, you only have one chance to grasp this opportunity.
You don't 'work' with the likes of Dent Coad that is why she was kicked out of the Labour Group on the Council
DeleteDid YOU ever try working with THAT Labour Group on the Council?
DeleteYes, I did.
DeleteTo Anonymoud 17:18: EDC was not kicked out of the Council Labour group. She was elected Chair of the Labour group & is still a councillor. Whomever you are, you are as bad as Gyimah in propagating incorrect facts. One wonders for what purposes.
DeleteBruno de Florence,
DeleteLabour Councillors sacked Emma Dent Coad. Yes, they voted her in as Chair, and when they found that she could not work with others because she has a "top dog", "I know best attitude" in which she requires total compliance over everything she decrees, they gave her the sack. In other words, Emma has very controlling tendencies like so many on the hard left including Comrade Corbyn. Corbyn and Dent Coad require all their diktats to be inculcated amongst the minions but human beings are not perfectible and don't like that sort of approach. I have never had the sack from any job and to a personality like Emma getting sacked is so very hard to accept. I think she should try to be humble instead of resenting what has happened.
If the LIBDEMS had not been meddling in Kensington then the Conservatives would have been toast
ReplyDeleteHardly democratic 17.36.
DeleteThe Lib Dems are entitled to stand. Why not argue of that if the Tories had not stood for election then Dent Coad might have won. We don't want Trots and Emma and her Trot Momentum mates are the ones who are toast.
