STAINTON: Susie Roberts out yesterday in the Bretton Centre recording a few questions for this big debate which we’ve got on the 20th April. It’s between nine and ten in the morning, an especially extended Peterborough Breakfast Show, and we’ll have the three main Parliamentary candidates in Peterborough on. For the LibDems it’s Nick Sandford who’s with us this morning.
SANDFORD: Good morning Paul.
STAINTON: Ed Murphy for Labour will be on that, and Stewart Jackson for Conservative will be on there. The reason Nick’s here is because the LibDems set out their stall today. Their election manifesto will be launched. With talk of a hung parliament of course, even more focus on the LibDems. their leader Nick Clegg says this vote isn’t a two-horse race. (TAPE)
CLEGG: This is a choice now between the old politics of the two old parties, and something new, something different which the Liberal Democrats offer. It’s not a two-horse race between the two old parties Labour and the Conservatives. People have got a real choice this time, and I think that’s why this election is wide-open. All bets are off. (LIVE)
STAINTON: Well, Nick, you’ve got some interesting policies, fair tax, a fresh start for children, a greener economy, clean up politics in Peterborough, and seven hundred pounds in everybody’s pockets. Thank you very much. Cough it up. Continue reading “Nick Sandford LibDem Parliamentary Candidate”

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”

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”
