Tamsin flounders



Tamsin Dunwoody can't seem to answer the question as to whether Gordon Brown is an asset or a liability.

Hat tip to Oliver Kamm, who notes:

The truthful answer is obviously that the PM is a huge liability for Labour in Crewe and Nantwich, and everywhere else. The expedient answer is that he is an asset. No one would expect a Labour candidate to say anything else, so the patent implausibility of the answer would not be a news story. Heavens, I've said absurd things myself (though not on Labour's behalf) in interviews just to make it through to the next question. You can understand that Labour's campaign is desperate; but the Crewe and Nantwich campaign is thunderingly inept as well.

By all accounts, the Tories are using Tasmin's Welshness to beat her with. I wonder why the Welsh Tories are not outrgaed by this?

Tamsin is about as Welsh as a brick. In fact the brick is probably more Welsh.

Hope she wins the seat and goes to Crewe. She just used Wales 'down size' price someone out of the property ladder and to further her career. She had no love or passion for the Assembly nor the country. And showed affection or interest in Welsh culture even though she represented a strong Welsh-speaking community in Preseli.

Funny how Labour make an issue of Tory toffs and people getting places and priviliges because of who their parents were ... so very different to Tamsin 'my mother was Gwyneth' Dunwoody.
