Whatever your politics and whoever you voted for, this is to be welcomed
He looks to be doing a decent job as our MP, and turned up when the club was fighting for its survival. With his brief in education, there's even potential for collaboration with the Ogdens and their educational initiatives for Rochdale schools, and beyond [Post edited 24 Jul 11:27]

The Ogden Family's involvement with the football club and their desire to improve the well being of the young people in the borough is a open goal for Paul Waugh. Factor in Andy Burnham as Prime Minister and the desire to level up the divide between the North and the South, you would like to think that all of that will be beneficial to the Town of Rochdale and the football clubs aspirations. A real chance for Paul Waugh to leave a lasting legacy of his time in office. [Post edited 24 Jul 12:44]

Perhaps if successive Labour and Liberal Councils and MPs since 1980 had pulled their fingers out, the Ogdens input into the education and community aspects of the town wouldn't have been so desperately needed...

Salutary breakdown of the UKs poverty divide but there's very little Councils or individual MPs can do about national deprivation whether led by Labour or LibDem administrations but there was another political change around 1980 which was and still is much more responsible |  |

We need, for all our sakes, to be forward-looking now, not harking back to where we've come from or how we arrived here
The very last thing we need is for the straightforward congrats to Paul Waugh to be turned into something else [Post edited 24 Jul 14:42]
