I AM horrified at the repeated nasty and negative tactics of Michael Wills the Labour MP. In a futile desperate attempt to cling on to his seat he repeatedly attacks Swindon council. While generally I, along with the majority of local residents, dismiss his paranoid rantings as someone who 'cries wolf' once too often, I cannot let his latest false accusation stand.

He claims that 'no Conservative councillor' attended his business summit. Not only were we not personally invited, but when I politely asked him for a copy of "my invite" to be 100 per cent sure, he accused me of treating him with contempt and refused to say sorry. This is clearly unacceptable. As someone who rarely graces Swindon with his presence, if we were to list all the meetings he doesn't attend (invited or not) we would have a field day.

In the current economic times he should concentrate on raising and tackling the serious national issues. This is what an MP is elected for, failure to do so will thankfully see him booted out at the next election.
