WELL DONE COMRADES
Bucking the national trend, Kirklees has increased its Labour Parliamentary representation by 50%.
Paula managed a great gain defeating the part time MP/Part time Lawyer who has not served Dewsbury for five years, so it's good to see Dewsbury has a working MP once more.
Jo increased the Labour majority in Batley and Spen, building on the work done by Mike Wood who has taken retirement.
Barry, who increased his majority in Huddersfield will no doubt be helping our new MP's, with the benefit of his years of experience.
Only sad note is that despite being the best candidate by far, and despite a superb campaign, the people of the Colne Valley decided to vote for the Tory lightweight who we have to admit has a superb talent for self aggrandisement.
