Former employees of Thomas Cook based at Manchester who sadly lost their jobs last year might well be wondering where the protests of indignation from their local MP were when there plight was all over the national press.
Likewise Manchester based Flybe employees who suffered a similar fate when the domestic hub disintegrated are now stacking shelves at Aldi, they too suffered a similar level of deafening silence.
If only the local MP had been a wee bit more vocal in both cases.
Come to think of it who is the local MP for the Manchester Airport constituency ?
"Step forward Mike"
.
If I'm not mistaken the constituency that the airport falls into is Wythenshawe & Sale East.
The MP is Mike Kane
