While I was away for the weekend there was a Friends of the Earth held hustings for the candidates for Middlesbrough. Sadly this doesn’t give us any more from our favourute crazy nazi BNP candidate, as both the BNP and UKIP were not invited to speak at Friends of Earth hosted event as they both rather stupidly deny climate change.
The following people attended the hustings and were kind enough to blog about it, unlike the standing MP Stuart Bell, who was too busy
- Middlesbrough & Redcar Friends of the Earth
- Evening Gazette Report
- Williamthebloody’s Local election hustings report
- Lib Dem PPC Chris Foote-Woods Report
- You can read all these and more at the Middlesbrough Hustings Facebook Group
This is obviously a very safe seat for Labour but I wouldn’t be surprise to see the Lib Dems (and the Tories to a lesser extent) take a big chunk out of Labour’s majority.
Finally at least you can read what Michael Stewart has to say for himself over at The Northern Echo, while remarking on how much he looks like Penfold from Danger Mouse.
