i'm looking forward to seeing this pointless chump lose his seat at the next election. i wonder if he's cheated on his wife recently?

Is he going the same way as Charlie, plenty of empty glasses around!

Hold two of those beer glasses up to your eyes and you will see that Hemmings will lead the LibDems to glorious victory in Brummieland.

Hmph. I thought I was one of the select few to be invited to John Hemming's campaign thanks party. Serves me right for not RSVPing I guess.

That looks like Bellamys, Id have thought the cheapskate would have taken you somewhere better than that place.

Correct, Bellamys it was. It wasn't the "campaign party", but if Guido recalls correctly, invites were extended.

john bought his fair share of rounds.

Hemming. Basically, an uglier Ian MacGaskill.

You may well be disappointed. The Lib Dem's have an extrenely strong team in Birmingham Yardley. Lot's of activists, a fairly efficent and well funded machine and more importantly a good number of popular and hard working local councillors. Hemming himself is well regarded and I haven't noticed any backlash over his infedility (which wasn't exactly a secret in first place). I'd expect him to hold on unless the Lib Dem's go into total meltdown.

"It wasn't the "campaign party"."

I'll forward you the email.

I'm most disappointed not to receive an invitation. As the first blogger to come out in support of John's leadership campaign, I would have thought that it was the least he could do.

I do like Richard Allen's joke about a number of 'popular and hard-working local councillors'.

There must be another Yardley.

He has got a point about a well-funded campaign, but that's what happens when you're a millionaire.

As for the impact of the 'Superstud' label that John's so willingly appropriated - we'll see.
