Hebden Royd town councillor Janet Oosthuysen, pictured, has been chosen as Labour's prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Calder Valley.
She will stand instead of Chris McCafferty who has been the MP since 1997 and has decided to retire at the next General Election.

The two other candidates shortlisted were trades union activist Jane Lewis, of Bury, and Stephenie Booth, who is married to Cherie Blair's father, Tony Booth, and has lived in Todmorden for the past three years.

Hmm... let's see. Good luck love - with that Scot leading your party you haven't really got much chance of being elected. If Chris had gone on, she might have won because she's not a bad MP. But a new woman, on the ballot paper as Labour - no chance!! I think Calder Valley's going blue.

In the middle ages witches were often turned to for advice and medical treatment when all else failed, ususally prayer and spending money on Masses and the like. Witches were often persecuted because they threatened the Churches local monopoly on power, although being burned at the stake was extremely rare. Witches were very useful and provided a valuable service to the poor. Linda Riordan is therefore NOT a witch. She soon won't be an MP either.

I can't believe they turned down Cherie Blair's step mother. Who is this local woman with the funny name ? Does she have a husband and children ? We should be told.

Congratulations Janet. The best woman got the job!

As for you ryburn, i'm appalled at your "...better than the present MP by a mile" comment. Not is it showing your blatant sexism by criticising McCafferty, a WOMAN, you are also being anti-EU by using the word 'mile' instead of 1.609344km.

FOR SHAME!
