Labour seats safe!
I HOPE voters understand the Brexit party have no chance whatsoever of winning any seats at a General Election and that’s from someone who voted leave.
In Jeff Burton’s letter ‘Labour risks losing seats’(The Gazette 10.09.19) he says those MPs should start looking for another job. But be careful what you wish for.
Most of us want an end to the Brexit circus and if former PM Theresa May had got her act together this country would not be in the tangled mess it is. But that’s in the past.
As for the future, do you really want an inexperienced Brexit candidate as MP running your area? I don’t.
Whatever your views are on Brexit, Teesside’s Labour MPs do solid down-to-earth work in the community, supporting young and old.
I would be truly amazed if any of them lost their seat to candidates from the Brexit party.
Labour MPs can sleep soundly in their bed.

ANYONE who doesn’t believe how duplicitous our politicians are can access a video clip from 2009 on YouTube where a Labour MP congratulated Ireland on voting no in a referendum to what was then the Lisbon
Treaty. He tells them that they will probably need to keep their banners and leaflets, because they will doubtless be needed again when the EU makes them have another vote and says that he doubts a referendum will ever take place in Britain - and that was Jeremy Corbyn.
This man now accuses the Prime Minister of wanting a nodeal Brexit almost by hook or by crook, yet 10 years back he was praising Irish voters..
If there is another referendum on what we have already voted for, which by the way was Leave and that is how I will vote a second time, it will be my last ever vote in anything. And I have a suggestion for almost all MPs, including our own who voted against the will of 62% of her constituents, which is to give back the three years’ salary we have paid for them doing nothing. Traitors all, so far as I am concerned.

THE four letters in The Gazette entitled, ‘Brexit has to be done,’ indicates to me a desire to close down debate on the decision of the 2016 referendum.
The writers will not have the concern I have about the prorogation of parliament at this critical time. A General Election decides which party forms the government but it does to preclude other parties from influencing decisions made by parliament.
My position is not strongly for remaining or leaving. It is one of wanting the economy to be strong and livelihoods not to be in jeopardy.
