Graham Jones has (narrowly) been our MP for as long as I can remember. Something stinks here.

Did you know that female hyenas have a faux penis?
I am just reading amazing animal facts as I have the most hideous in laws coming round Saturday for dinner. They believe in the death penalty, brexit and foam at the mouth at any mention of immigrants.
To get through after this election result, I’ll just resort to talking about my amazing animal facts (funnily enough, I don’t think they are familiar with facts)
How Andrew Neil has the brass neck to grill everyone else on why it went the way it did, when Boris and the Tories played him like a fiddle and made him and the BBC look like a bunch of idiots is beyond me.
Err, no, the blame lies squarely with JC and his team. They have been an utterly useless opposition for the last 2 years.
They should have got a landslide victory against the worst Government in 30 years, yet they have gone backwards by a long way, and it seems, still cannot see they are totally out of touch with the Electorate.
No point blaming anyone other than the electorate.
While the swing in Brexit Labour seats has been something like 10-11% to the Tories, the swing in remain Labour seats has been 7-9% to the Tories. You can blame Brexit for a bit, but Corbyn’s Leadership has very obviously been a massive impact.
