PLENTY of bloodshed in the House of Commons this week, with another one of those chaotic reshuffles where MPs were in, out, or shake it all about.

But if any ambitious parliamentarians want to avoid being jettisoned from cabinet or shadow cabinet roles in the future, avoid Worcester – it’s cursed.

One of the MPs sacked this week was Liverpool’s Stephen Twigg, who Ed Miliband unceremoniously dumped as shadow education secretary.

Only four weeks ago he was at Worcester Sixth Form College, delighting in telling students how much he enjoyed his role and ironically, informed yours truly of how fond he’d become of Labour’s leader.

Talk about being knifed in the back.

But Mr Twigg wasn’t the only Blairite with knowledge of these parts ejected by Red Ed.

Brum MP Liam Byrne was axed as shadow work and pensions secretary after Mr Miliband decided he didn’t like him, either.

Back in February he was also sent to fight Labour’s cause in Worcester, visiting the technology college to talk to students.

The day after his visit he rang me up to say how much he’d enjoyed it, how desperately he wants to see his boss become Prime Minister, and signed off with “I’ll be coming back, that’s for sure”.

One assumes the enthusiasm for his leader’s cause may also have taken a nosedive.

The duo are two of the three major Labour political figures to visit Worcester in recent months, the other, of course, being Mr Miliband.

If only he was to sack himself, the Faithful City could claim a hat-trick!

e COUNCILLOR Marc Bayliss recently sent a postcard around the St Peter’s and Battenhall areas of Worcester asking residents if they want any help.

The high-flying Tory, who was elected to represent both neighbourhoods at County Hall back in May, was sent one response asking for “free tickets for your lapdancing club”.

I wouldn’t hold out much hope of assistance as the proposal for a lapdancing venue in The Butts by a businessman is dead and buried.

But given the council’s ambition to free up empty office space to outside tenants, one wonders if a phonecall to the applicant to suggest County Hall as an alternative location could work.

Vote Tory, get a lapdancing club.

Call me a genius.
