Wheres Charles?

Guido has created a interactive map on his blog where he follows Gordon Brown and his travels. Maltheus wishes he could do one about his local MP, Charles Clarke but doesn't know what the hell he is upto nowadays. All Maltheus hears of Clarke is his intention to try and kamikase pilot himself into the Labour Party. All this plotting is all well and good but Maltheus wouldn't mind it if Clarke actually bothered to do things in his constituentcy rather than trying to provoke his peers into a GB revolt.

When Maltheus screens the local papers there is no mention of Clarke apart from his supprt from the beard liberation front or a group of equal nonsense. He has no website, has no mention in the local papers and only gets covered in the nationals when he nobbles out a speech or two on the empty labour party future. Iain Gibson by comparrison is constantly in the news, declaring his support or anger at local intiatives and local results. It's not all about what you have in the news but it helps to have something in the papers to ensure that people think you door more than plot in your Portcullis tower...
