Just seen he's going to be stepping down - 38 years as the MP for Great Grimsby is arguably going to be a hard act to follow

Like him or not it means there should be some significant change locally coming after the next General Election

I have always liked Austin as a person, He will always take time out to speak, he also replied to my email regarding a few concerns of mine at the last election, he occasionaly can be seen at cafe nero in Town having a cuppa. He does seem to have been around forever.  

Good luck to Austin.


Grimsby and proud!

I think all MP'S should be made to retire at 70.

So Austin has lasted a lot longer than he should have done.

Melanie Onn will be the next Labour candidate in Grimsby.

It has been in the offing for a while apparently. Young local mother within the local trade union movement... think her cause has probably been helped by the fact she used to be a 'staffer' for Ed Miliband as well.

http://order-order.com/2014/01.....ore-he-even-resigns/

Like him or loathe him, Mitchell was a true character within Parliament and did his best - the past few years aside when his health diminished - to promote the local area in the Commons. He said exactly what he thinks and the Commons will be a duller place without him.

Also - as an aside - expect UKIP to now field a very prominent candidate for the seat. The area has all the makings of an 'upset' for them. Wouldn't be shocked to see Godfrey Bloom run.
