Labour MP Gripe - Public Petitions

Misrepresentation in Parliament

Member of Parliament gripe

My MP did not initially refuse to present the petition, merely ignored requests to do so.



This gripe is about my Member of Parliament (MP), laughingly known as the Minister for Fatties. The serious part is probable misrepresentation in Parliament.
