Comparing the Rochdale MP's rendering of the 'Theatre of the Absurd' to the current production of 'War & Peace', the fortnightly journal to describe what is going on as an 'epic drama that has got the nation gripped'.

At that time Mr. Farnell had the backing of the local MP, Simon Danczuk; when Danczuk himself looked to be an unstoppable force with a charmed life and wife.
How times have changed!
Yesterday a Tweet from Simon Danczuk:
'Great meeting with
Chances are that when Danczuk finally goes he will be taking a few more with him!
