For the most part I agree with you. However had they followed your advice I suspect that, despite the death toll being considerably lower, they would be getting hung out to dry for departing from the conventional wisdom of staying put. Damned if they did and damned if they didn't sadly.

While the grunts where risking their lives to get people out, the people in charge were unwilling to risk their jobs... And then don't even have the decency to resign. What a bunch of muppets.

He won a thumping majority in a historically Labour-voting constituency and against a very good (if low profile) sitting MP, so I wouldn't write him off just yet.

With hindsight he was probably right, but it was a damned silly thing to say.

Is it? It was created from the old Wansdyke constituency & that was always conservative in my lifetime until Dan Norris won it for Labour in '97.

Mind you, considering it encompasses all the old Somerset coalfields, I'm surprised it's not redder than it is.
