Every now and again, some opinion poll or other asks people to name their own MP and politocos tutt when, invariably, a good proportion fail the test.
But, if you were to speak to every MP and ask them who the MP for their own constituency is, you’d hope for a better result.
Sadly, news reaches us that at least one MP may be unsure.
Dawn Butler, Labour MP for Brent South, held a coffee morning on Friday with Rt Hon Paul Boateng MP.
Is that right? Surely Paul Boateng isn’t still an MP.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. Boateng left parliament in 2005, but there are a lot of MPs and former MPs out there. Perhaps Dawn just didn’t realise Paul’s no longer an MP.
Remind me, where was Paul Boeteng an MP for? Ah yes, Brent South.
For Dawn’s sake, let’s hope those pollsters don’t come knocking.
