Any brilliant ripostes for an MP who consistently votes with the govt and doesn't reply to my emails, or who feels remotely insecure in his safe seat?

A riposte is in response to a parried attack. If he/she is not even replying (mine doesn't either), then another means of communication is necessary. A snail mail letter to him/her and the local party HQ might be a start.

Indeed. What I'm needing though, is some form of words to discomfit him and even if only a pinprick, knock his breezy confidence that his seat is unassailable. (Which it probably is, dammit)

Should I really thank my MP???

I wrote to my MP, Aspana Begum, a few weeks ago, urging her to vote against the government. Having received no reply, I wasn't holding out much hope. So I was pleasantly surprised to read this morning that she was one of the few Labour MP's to defy the whip and vote No.

I immediately felt obliged to thank her. However, after looking at her recent Twitter activity, it seems she is arguing for stricter lockdowns (ZeroCovid, a new Tier 4 etc) and would surely vote that way if given the option.

So, if someone does the "right" thing but for the wrong reasons, is it still worth of praise? One for the philosophers, I guess...
