What ridiculous bollocks. So, "from A to B" - and I bet his thoughts are not very much not where he claims.
This is real 'Westminster game' crap. Look at her 2nd sentence and note that the 3rd sentence you are all busy sniggering at is saying she could stop the fraud and distraction that people deserve better than - but she won't. #Clacton
