Quietly plotting

Since the Luciana only short-list was announced, Wendy Simon has made a big splash of her bid with her campaign website at http://www.wendysimonforwavertree.co.uk, complete with heart warming tales of how her hobbies include playing with kittens, ahhh!

Meanwhile Luciana's campaign, unofficially backed by Jane Kennedy, has been continuing rather quietly, so quietly that her prospective constituents in Camden still have no idea that she plans to abandon them.

So thank you to one of my regular readers who obtained secret footage of Luciana and a male friend plotting in a dark corner of a wine bar in Mossley Hill.


The romantically inclined of you however, might just assume that this handsom young beaux is her replacement for Euan Blair!

Meanwhile, many questions have been raised as to why only two people are interested in a seat that has a sitting Labour MP.

"Ah", we are told by Labour insiders. "There there are better seats in the region that are attracting more interest, such as Wigan and Ashton in Makerfield."

What do they mean by "better?" Is Liverpool so hated by prospective Labour candidates as a potential place to live and represent? Or do they mean that Labour's approved candidates simply have written off Wavertree as a seat that Labour have any realistic chance of holding at the next election?

Are you sure that Luciana, Dude?

It could be Davina McCall - who is often seen in the wine bars of L18 - or even more appropriate, Lynnie Williams?

Whoever that is, i'd give one to any of them. [Vote, that is].

Looks more like a still picture than "footage" and how is it secret if it's in a public place?

Little bit weird to be taking pictures of people you don't know. And the "plotting" looks like person is just texting someone.

Clearly great investigative journalism here.

I love Luciana said...

Glad to see she's still into wine bars. I remember her from the Boot & Flogger in the Camden area where they sell a mean game pie and pickled quails eggs. The Pinot Noir is to die for at just £20 a bottle.

The young gent is none other than Kevin Pilnick - City Council employee who will be installed as Steven Twiggs Office boy if he wins west derby -

Kevin's not her new love interest (he's a friend of Dorothy) but he is running her selection campaign much to the annoyance of Loubo!

Surely not, a city council employee?

But they were campaigning weren't they? Is that allowed???

Is it not a bit obsessive - taking surreptitious photos of members of the public when they're out? I htnk this says a lot more about Lib Dems than Labour.

The Great Pretender said...

Loubou is well pissed off over Pilnick running Luciana's bid for Wavertree. The great leader is not too pleased either as he's backing Pussy Galore!

May I congradulate Mr. Anon for enquiring after Colin's health!

Mr. Anon, I very much doubt Mr. Eldridge is getting any gastronomic problems.

You see, Mr. Eldridge has been the candidate for Liverpool Wavertree for...ooh, is it 7 years?

And the Lib Dem's nearest rival is Labour, and their person has been candidate for...oh yeah, they don't have one.

Never mind.

Is Luciana offering to share her bag of french fries with him ?

Proper insider said...

I think that Kevin's girlfriend would be surprised that the LibDems think he is gay. And he is not running Luciana's campaign either. They were having a Christmas meal, they and others who for some reason your spy did not photograph? How pathetic, taking photos of people eating dinner and trying to make something out of it.
Kevin and Louise are very close friends, they would laugh at this nonsense, if anyone pointed it out to them, which we wont, because they and we have better things to do. Like go doorknocking in Picton where we are stacking up our promises.

Profits not Prophets said...

Proper Insider... or Louise...

Stack up all the promises you want luv. You'll have plenty of time to go door knocking in other wards when the people of K&F get to vote the spin doctor out!

Babes in the Phythian said...

To "Proper inside":

Where is is suggested by any Lib Dem thar he's gay?...unless you really ARE proper inside...ahem, anyway -

About Picton: Im quite sure the London-born middle-class and radient Luciana will go down extremely well in Picton, as will her hard-work that shes put in there over the years.

AN OLD SOCIALIST said...

Er ? A Christmas meal ? Rather late if it was from what a barperson tells me ! A bit more porky Labour spin methinks ! Jeez ! Why does Anderson have qualms about Luciana ? The Camden and Dingle Labour sets have nothing in common with the people of either areas.The Working Class ? Labour are a disgrace to those honourable people who are no doubt turning in their graves at the disgusting way Labour has disgraced its roots

Tinkerbelle said...

The Wendy for Wavertree blog (or whatever?) says she likes playing with her kittens - Pussy Galore ?
