Bella’s Christmassy creation takes top prize in MP’s Christmas card challenge

MP Bob Seely has chosen a winning design for his 2023 Christmas Card Competition.

Bella, who is eight years old, has been announced as this year’s winner with her design featuring all things Christmassy.

Bella’s design will feature on the MP’s electronic Christmas card this year.

Seely: Colourful and bold
Bob said,

“This has been a really fun competition to judge and all the children who entered have really risen to the challenge.

“Bella’s design caught my eye because it was colourful and bold and captured a lot of the fun things we associate with Christmas.

“The high standard of entries led me to choose a runner-up as well, so congratulations to Aysha as well and thank you to all the children who entered. I wish you all a happy Christmas.”

Bob went along to meet Bella and Aysha at Summerfields Primary School and presented them both with a teddy bear dressed in a green and gold House of Commons T-shirt.

As has been said before; it’s a stitch-up by the government, the Missing Person and his cronies. Thank goodness that we have on line facilities these days and can see the plan for what it is.

Disgraceful and underhand by those in power.

Andrew Turner, in October said to onthewight, that he suggested it could be a community owned enterprise, which could be either outside or inside the franchise, for example it could be a “micro franchise”. Is this what is being suggested now for Island line? I wonder what is recommended in the Atkins report, because the data needed for the consultation should be included.

It’s insane to consult people about something they refuse to describe in any detail nor explain the rationale behind it – it’s as if neither the DfT or the MP and his cronies actually know where this is going, and are just hoping that someone else will figure it out.

It would appear that some civil servants at the DFT have neglected to cross some i’s and dot some t’s. Could it be that in their haste to secure a larger franchise bid they ignored the possibility that there could be a local challenge to their plans so didn’t feel the detail would be important? I can’t help but feel this consultation will be a complete waste… Read more »

I’m sure if anyone attends any of the “consultation” meetings they’ll find they already have printed copies of the conclusions available for distribution.

I have a feeling that the consultation process is only going through the motions and the decisions and plans have already been laid out. Most workers that use the line will be at work when public meetings etc are arranged. I can understand people’s cynicism. Unfortunately any sceptical feelings are generated by the way the struggle to keep the railway line is engineered. If people can go… Read more »

Many good observations from the author. They have remarkable similarity to well-founded observations made against school reorganisation consultation material a few years ago. I wonder if he too will simply get a response ‘the views are not shared by the authority…’
