STAINTON: Keep them coming please, relevant tunes that can stir this election campaign, that we can give to the political parties to enlighten their electioneering, to lift up their politics and manifestos, tunes that will make us vote for them. UKIP have never looked the happiest bunch, let’s be honest. But members of the party in Peterborough have taken to wearing black for their election campaigns. So we’ve come up with a relevant tune for them. (MUSIC: FUNERAL MARCH). Well it’s either that or this. (MUSIC: MEN IN BLACK). Guys, which do you prefer, Men in Black or the Death March?
ALDRIDGE: Well ..
FOX: The tune is Land of Hope and Glory. Continue reading “Frances Fox UKIP Party Candidate”

Ed Murphy Labour Parliamentary Candidate

An interview with Ed Murphy Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Peterborough broadcast on 12th April 2010 at 08:10 in the Paul Stainton Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Peterborough.

PS: Now as Steve just said Gordon Brown launches Labour’s manifesto this morning. The BBC has learned that Labour will promise not to increase income tax rates if it wins the election. Gordon Brown will make the pledge when he unveils Labour’s manifesto later today, but he won’t pledge not to raise VAT. Conservative Leader David Cameron says Labour haven’t any new ideas. (TAPE)
DC: What you’re going to see from the Conservative manifesto is a clear recognition that real change isn’t just Government producing manifestos, but recognising we’re all in this together. But I think there’s a contrast in this campaign frankly, no new ideas from Labour, very negative campaign, all about attack and trying to scare people, and very positive agenda-setting ideas from the Conservatives. (LIVE)
PS: Well Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg says Labour won’t be taken seriously unless they say how they’d save money as well as spend it. (TAPE)
NC: Clearly money is tight. So clearly all political parties, if they’re going to be credible, and trusted by the British people, in the run-up to the election, have got to make promises which are always fully costed. (LIVE)
PS: Well the Conservatives launch their manifesto tomorrow. The LibDems on Wednesday. Peterborough’s Labour Parliamentary Candidate is Ed Murphy. Good morning Ed.
EM: Good morning.
PS: So the pledges are coming out again. Is Labour going to keep them this time? Continue reading “Ed Murphy Labour Parliamentary Candidate”

PS: Right now though we’re going to go outside. We’re going to put our little gloves on and our wellies, and we’re going to wrap up warm, for a touch of nature. We’re into Spring, the landscape is changing, so we sent out Miss Kerry Devine to Woodston Woods, with bushcraft guru Andrew Shaw from Fragile Earth, for a bit of foraging. And they started off with all the wild plants that you can eat. Continue reading “Foraging with Andrew Shaw from Fragile Earth”
