Tory incumbent in the Yorkshire constituency of Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, has said it how it is on Milibrand. Not the first time the Labour leader has sat down for a cup of tea with a hypocritical lefty millionaire, is his verdict.

“This is pathetic and desperate stuff from Ed Miliband but it won’t be the first time he’s sat down for a cup of tea with a hypocritical Leftie millionaire. This is a man who tells people not to take part in the democratic system. He should merit no mention at all because his views are anti-democratic.”
