Apparently the young Conservative candidate is now desperately peddling the myth that 'there's only a couple of hundred votes between Labour and the Conservatives in Reddish North'?
FACT:
2006 local election: Labour polled 832 more votes than the Tories
2007 local election: Labour polled 958 more votes than the Tories
2008 local election: Labour polled 642 more votes than the Tories
AND in the 2009 European elections, the Tories limped in THIRD PLACE behind Labour (1st) and UKIP (2nd). The Lib Dems secured an historic 5th.
Clearly it's back to school for 'Gaz' to do remedial maths!!
