John Thompson was one of many people in , who this afternoon were happy to take a free balloon to show his support for the Conservative Party candidate Graham Stuart.

Some 8 years ago Mr. Thompson who survived a plane crash after trekking in the Himalayas said Graham is the only man for him adding he could count on his vote.

Mr. Stuart said he was honoured to be re-selected to fight for his seat asking for the community to give him another five years, so he could carry on his work in the community, adding this election was about strong and stable leadership.

Voters go to the poll on 8 June when they will get to choose the government who will lead the country through what many are predicting will be a difficult period of negotiations.

  1. Your article “plane crash survivor on why he is backing Graham Stuart”. I was standing opposite the Tory street stall supporting the Labour party. I do not recall you asking any of us when you took our photograph, very hastily, why we supporting Labour. Had you have done so, I could have given you an equally heart render personal story. The article reflects the political bias your magazine has also had.

  2. Graham Stuart has slavishly followed the Governments line, even on policies and budgets that are damaging to local services, NHS provision and our schools budgets. His voting record shows he votes for the Govt regardless of the impact on his constituents. I’d like to pop all his balloons !

  3. Hi Janet – I had already spoken to a Labour supporter who was introduced to me by George McManus. May I also draw your attention to this link where you will find an over whelming number of articles of the current election which include Jeremy Corbyn’s visit to Hull, and three interviews with people who all outlined their reasons for voting Labour. http://www.hu17.net/tag/general-election-2017/

    I am sorry you think we are ‘right wing’ bias – it is something I would dispute though you are of course entiled to your own view
