The Guardian’s reporting that Kelvin MacKenzie probably won’t run in the Haltemprice & Howden by-election after all. Perhaps a sign that Murdoch and Co. don’t want to pick a fight with the Tories?
But Leo McKinstry has just contacted Coffee House to confirm that another candidate will be standing against Davis – one David Craig, the author of a book about Government waste. Accordingly, Craig will be running on an anti-waste platform. Here’s his message for voters:
1. The 42 days issue is not important to most ordinary people as we are unlikely to be affected by it 2. What is important to normal taxpayers is that we are governed by a bunch of wasteful and greedy MPs who are overpaid and out of touch and waste billions of pounds of our money at a time when the cost of living is spiraling out of control 3. As proof of my claims our MPs are an out-of-touch, wasteful, overpaid elite, (at a time when our MPs want a pay rise) I would commit to giving half my MP’s salary (if elected) to charity 4.
