The newly elected and re-elected quartet of Conservative MPs who will now represent north and west Cumbria are reporting for duty in Westminster. Our readers had their say on the News & Star website and Facebook page.
Go and do well for Cumbria!
Jane Ann Kilgour
Don’t get down to London and forget us up north, we put you there.
John Denwood
Conservatives will get Brexit done, and with the largest Tory majority since Thatcher, everything else they want to get done and need to get done for the benefit of Conservative voters.
Peter Stockdale
They don’t just have a duty for Conservative voters, they have a duty to everyone. Not that any Tory politician or even voter cares about anyone but themselves.
Liam Cook
Excellent - couldn’t be happier that you all got in; now go and deliver us the land of milk and honey we were promised. And when exactly can we expect the additional £350m each week for the NHS?
Paul Stafford
Not going to lie. I don’t know who any of them are, other than their name. I only know that not voting for them would have been voting in the favour of the unelectable Corbyn and his socialist ideology by risking giving him and his cronies another seat. That is the chief reason why they are where they are.
Mark Whitfield
At the end of five years when we’re eating chlorinated chicken, paying for our health treatment and using more food banks than ever, I can have a clear conscience knowing that I never voted for them. John Stevenson has done nothing for the people of Carlisle and will continue to do so.
Christine Walker
The scary thing is that most of the electorate know absolutely zilch about politics they just swallow any old garbage thrown at them from the media and think it’s gospel. Critical thinking should be taught in schools to enable future generations to be able to make informed choices, that’s if we ever get out of this dictatorship that we’ve landed in, Boris is already making plans to keep himself in place by changing the fixed term government, god knows how things will turn out, and I agree about Stevenson - complete waste of space.
Angela Enver
I’m ashamed of my home county. Just look at them!
Andrew Wishart
Another five years of non-representation from John Stevenson. No doubt he’ll continue to serve his own interests and that of his business friends.
