Today David Cameron claimed that the most important thing in the Eastleigh by-election is the candidates (which is an interesting claim considering how much Maria Hutchings disagrees with the PM). As a result, Labour’s John O’Farrell has hit back, saying:
“It is incredibly arrogant of David Cameron to say that it’s the candidates who are the most important thing in the by-election. The most important thing in this by-election are the voters.
“They deserve better than a choice of a Tory who’s had to be gagged or another Lib Dem who says one thing and does another. No wonder more and more people are saying Eastleigh deserves better and are coming to Labour.”
