Well done, Graham. One statement he made, however, had me puzzled a little and maybe something he shouldn't have said, was:
"I had no intention of serving in this position. I wanted to focus on my constituency work"
Is it just me ? Would have thought his main focus would have been on his constituency work anyway... particularly as he is newly elected and at least until he knows his way around.

Greg was in the Whips office for quite a few years when he first went into Parliament
Greg Pope was also a Whip for part of his time in Parliament .
Decent point, Gynn .. just read as ambition over care for our borough.

I've heard it said that Graham is arrogant, something which shocked me because nothing could be further from the truth. He is a passionate man about Hyndburn and knows what he is talking about.
To get this position in such a short time proves that he is an excellent MP and, more importantly, has the brains to be a good voice for us all in Westminster.
Definitely a good thing, well done mate.
congrats again graham and was glad to be able to congratulate you on friday... and so glad you liked the new bag we thought would suit your new position in parliament

I don't live in the area, but I've only ever heard of him slagged off by Jaysay and Andrew on this web..where you've heard it anywhere else is so so.. I don't know Graham personally but hearing from people in Accrington that do know him he seems to be a decent bloke.
He's not arrogant.Graham's hard working, and determined to get the best for this area. If I could only cure him of going down to watch Rovers, and instead go and watch the Mighty Reds (Stanley) , he would be even better.
He does watch the Stanley, doesn't he, Bernard? I've certainly shared the occasional pre-match chinwag in the Oaklea and walked down to the ground with him.
Rovers must have been away

You may well be right, but at least he turns up sometimes, unlike other local politicians, on either side, that I could mention.
He's usually looking after his daughter Wyn
he ain't anybody at home to do the honours
That's true, he comes on quite a lot now. You cant miss Graham up the Stanley. He always seems to have a pie in his gob.
