I AM sick of the sight of our MP, whose photograph is in the paper every week.

I think Jacqui Smith would go to the opening of an envelope if a photographer was there. Isn't the mayor supposed to do these things?

This is typical of politics today, all spin and nothing of substance.

Can I say too, through your paper, that for the time being I don't think she should be opening fetes, judging flower shows, awarding certificates, kissing babies or visiting old people's home.

Until the crisis at the Alexandra Hospital has been averted, she should be spending every waking moment working on this one issue.

After being our MP for so long, she can finally earn her money and do something of worth for the people of Redditch.
