IN reply to Garry Foreman (Letters, July 31) being a MP is not about winning it's about doing the right things to improve the country we live in.
Ask yourself this, are you happy that your gas and electric price has gone through the roof?
Are you happy that the food you buy has increased in price due to the credit crunch?
Are you happy to see the streets of where you live have every Tom, Dic
k and Harry from the rest of Europe walking about without jobs claiming benefits that we are paying taxes towards?
Yvette Cooper and Ed Balls are MPs who have sat by and let this country go to the dogs. They have ignored the signs that we are being held to ransom by European power firms because we are not self-sufficient.
These two individuals are backing the muppet (Gordon Brown) who wants us to give up and hand power to Europe.
They may be doing things you have said regarding their constituencies but the bigger picture is what counts.
They and the rest of the Labour party have failed us.
The Labour movement, of which these two MPs are members, are doing nothing but take up time, money and space.
They have failed the people of this country but are too far up their own backsides to admit it.
