    Liam – I am a little intrigued by the decision of Respect to stand against every Labour candidate.On the basis of your local knowledge, are none of the Labour candidates in the whole borough any good?Does Respect have a working relationship with labour lefts over practical local issues?Anyway – good luck on Thursday. I will be facsinated to see how Respect does!
