Claire Wright: We wait for the next instalment of the Jittery Jupp soap opera!

Marginal seat drama: Simon Jupp LOSES HIS HEAD over Seaton Hospital!

Richard Foord MP is the MP for Seaton and is working hard for his constituents, most recently over the threat to Seaton Hospital.

Simon Jupp, however, seems to be panicking somewhat.

He’s been rushing around taking credit for successes in Richard’s constituency for some time.

Just a few examples are:

Honiton Police Station reopening (that his own govt closed under austerity!)

Jupp then boasted his ‘campaign’ had achieved a railway station at Cullompton. He even got his Tory mate, Mark Harper, to praise him in the Commons!

But the latest example really takes us to new heights of behaving like one of those whirligig beetles you see in ponds.

Richard Foord asked a question at PMQs yesterday about the threat to Seaton Hospital…. But Jittery Jupp had got there first! Sunak’s reply ludicrously commended Jupp’s ‘work’ on the issue!

Jupp then rushed to post a misleading video on social media of Sunak’s answer, which cut out Richard’s question!

Jupp later deleted my comment on his Facebook page directing people to Richard’s post for an honest version.

The full PMQs excerpt of this ridiculous charade saw Jupp smirking and giggling as Sunak praised him for his non work for an issue that’s not in his constituency.

What shameless scam will he come up with next I wonder?

We will have to wait for the next instalment in the Jittery Jupp soap opera!
