Karen: Stop Messing About

We don't often cover our local MP. That's because she doesn't give much of an impression that she's bothered about Maida Vale or Maida Vale residents (before her silly complaints in the paper last week about Paddington Rec, the last time most people saw her in Maida Vale was about 9 months ago).

And it does seem that Karen is a bit more interested in playing petty politics at the moment than delivering for her constituents. Take an Early Day Motion which she sponsored last Friday, which had absolutely everything to do with the Blair-Brown debate in the Labour Party, and absolutely nothing to with delivering for her residents (see here).

And the cost to the hardworking taxpayer everytime an MP puts down an early day motion? About £250.

Not good enough, Karen.
