Please End The Petty Smear Campaign Against Mr. Stephenson

Over the past month I have become increasingly dismayed at the tactics being used by leading members of Pendle’s Labour Party to smear and discredit the name of Pendle’s Prospective Conservative MP, Andrew Stephenson.  I believe certain people involved in Pendle politics are attempting to achieve their objectives by whatever means, whether they be fair or otherwise.  Mr Stephenson is a friend and colleague, all he has sought to do since he became Pendle Conservatives’ Parliamentary Spokesman is to present an open and honest record of what both he and the local Conservative Party have been doing to help the people of Pendle.  Our opponents are now attempting to use whatever tactics they are able to muster in order to discredit Andrew’s campaign to build a better Pendle, sadly, this has much to do with the meeting which decided the control of Pendle Borough Council.  The basis of the attacks is founded on the fact that certain councillors were denied access to the levers of power, they can’t handle what happened and are playing the sort of petty politics we have sadly become accustomed to in Pendle over recent years.  Please, ladies and gentlemen, can we go back to acting in the interests of the people who elected us, and not resort to this?  Is it too much to ask?
