So there we are, after the long long long taxpayer funded MP's holiday, Parliament finally went back to work today!

Our MP was there, poised ready to ask a question on the burning issues of the day. Could it be a question about the credit crunch, perhaps a question about the local people losing their jobs or perhaps a question seeking help for those struggling to pay their mortgages locally?

Gordon Brown's Labour MP finally got to his feet, the near empty chamber waited with baited breath for our Labour MP to deliver a powerful message  on behalf of the people of Brigg and Goole. And then, our MP rose to ask a question in the Sport and Culture Question Period on the subject of football club ownership!

As important as I am sure these issues are to many, I would have thought that after weeks of financial meltdown, our MP could have found more pressing issues to address!
