Must be the first 'Toff' to live in Crewe!

Jon, Sandbach,

Intriguing that class wasn't an issue when public school boy Anthony, member of the 'Archer's Club' in St John's Oxford, was up against the son of a model clownmaker, Mr John Major. My father was working class and ended up at university, and sent me to public school. Where does that put me?

'A Labour MP could be seen loitering in a churchyard across the road before ushering the teenagers to stage the stunt for TV cameras.'

Isn't there a law against this abuse and manipulation of children? Utterly pathetic...Labour deserve to lose the by-election just for these sorts of tactics.

How strange that the Gordon Brown has to stoop to such levels - the levels which he has been "fighting against for many years".

This is not a class war, this is purely and simply a Labour Party that is at war with itself and using every trick in the book to fool the UK voters. How very very sad.

this "vote winning pretense" of a caring tory party is frankly vomit inducing to watch'

I find it eternally sad that leftwingers and the Labour Party think they have the monopoly on human kindness. The party is regressing to a pre-Blair state and opposition.

Does anyone have any idea how much MPs have received in salary increases since Labour came to power......?

These people are all out of touch......

But what utter hypocrisy as usual from Labour!

Drew, Nottingham,

What do you expect from Labour, they have no idea of what people want. Their policies and strategies are failing; they have nothing to show for themselves. So the only thing they can do is play the dirty, humiliating games. They are treating people as stupid, without any sense! New Labour strategy!!

The Bullingdon Club mentality is still lingering regardless of how hard Cameron trys to hide it....this "vote winning pretense" of a caring tory party is frankly vomit inducing to watch

Eric, Southwick, Engla nd

With their enormous salaries and unmonitored expenses it is the average labour MP who behaves like the undeserving, overprivileged "toffs" they seek to lampoon. I hope Gordon's proud of this behaviour.

'Tory toffs' eh.
Who might they be?
Tony Blair, 5 homes in excess of £15 million pound.
The Balls couple on £600000 salary and expenses.
Tessa 'I've got so much money I didn't realise I'd paid my mortage off' Jowell.
Tamsin Dunwoody, daughter of two politicians.
OH no they are from new labour.

As I never met Mr Edward Timpson, it's not for me to judge his character but I don't understand why the Tories chose this candidate because his background has become a distraction which should not have been the case.

Edwin Jacob, Hounslow, UK

What a sick way for Labour to honour the memory of Mrs Dunwoody. No dignity whatsoever.
