“A confidential email from a Tory MP shows how local hospital closures are being kept secret from the public until after the election in order to avoid ‘sensitive’ issues arising during the election campaign.

The leaked email from Wellingborough Tory MP Peter Bone to a member of the Board of Directors of the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group shows how police and fire station closures are also being secretly delayed until after the election:

From: Bone, Peter <peter.bone.mp@parliament.uk>

Subject: Proposed relocation of services consultation
To: “Rees, Stuart”

Dear Stuart,

Thank you very much for your telephone call earlier today regarding the proposed consultation with regards to the possible relocation of services from the Isebrook Hospital site. Whilst a huge supporter of the Isebrook site during my time as MP, I appreciate that the CCG has difficult decisions to make in the interim and I will certainly engage with the consultation process.

As discussed earlier, the Police & Crime Commissioner Adam Simmonds has held off the announcement on the closure of the cells at Wellingborough police station and relocation of remaining personnel to the Criminal Justice Centre in Northampton until after the election. The same can be said about the proposed closure of Rushden fire station, and the other small fire stations in the county.

With the imminent elections, these issues could prove very sensitive. As such, I would like to thank you for holding off this particular consultation until the end of May. This will prevent the issue becoming an election issue and will allow the community to come together to respond to the consultation.

With very best wishes,

Peter

Interestingly, the email was leaked by a local Tory activist, fed up with the lies and corruption from his local MP:”

George Osborne’s welfare cuts are ‘spine chilling’ if Tories win election warns his OWN deputy

David Cameron was unable to specify what the living wage is when he was questioned by young people as part of a Radio 1 interview.

GR Comment:  “If the questions aren’t scripted Cameron becomes a bumbling liability. This happened a couple of months ago. Sky News invited an audience of teenagers to fire unscripted questions at Miliband, Clegg and the Prime Minister with the exact same result. Cameron came across like a complete amateur trying to act statesmanlike.”

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson unveiled as giant voter defence shield etc

GR Comment: “Did I read or hear somewhere that Tory HQ are hoping for a surge of votes from the “silent Tory voter”?  (Sorry reading and listening to too much political posturing lately and can’t remember every source).

One has to ask why the conservative leaders need stage-managed visits and heightened security whilst their “silent voters” are hiding under rocks somewhere in the SE of England too embarrassed to say what their political persuasion is?   (That was a rhetorical question).

Do these people ever get out to genuinely meet the plebs or just do online banking?”

Tory donor is boss of firm fined £30.6m for mis-selling insurance

“A chief executive whose firm was fined £30.6m fine last year for mis-selling insurance and mishandling complaints has become one of the Conservatives’ most generous donors of the election campaign. Richard Harpin, the head of the domestic insurance giant HomeServe, gave £50,000 to the party in the first week of the “short campaign”, according to electoral commission records released last Thursday.”  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/23/tory-donor-richard-harpin-boss-firm-fined-306m-mis-selling-insurance
