Libdem definition of whip
Monday, October 11th, 2010Much debate this morning about the possibility of a split in the coalition over tuition fees. I’m sure that colleagues in the labour party are licking their lips at the prospect of a public punch-up between lib dems. Indeed, if I thought it likely then I would too :-)
However, what we’re about to witness [...]
Nick Clegg Is A …
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010I was curious…
It would never have happened under Charlie Kennedy
First two months back on the council
Thursday, July 8th, 2010It’s been a busy two months since the elections – with plenty done and a *lot* that I need to get done.
There are some teething problems with just getting information. I’ve opted to get council papers via email rather than the weekly small tree’s worth of paper being delivered each week. I’m not 100% certain [...]
Leaflets – the other (handwritten) one
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Here’s the leaflet that is going out this week. I’ve got no idea how it will be received, but my thinking is this – there are *so many* leaflets flying around that something a little different might be noticed.
Also, it’s good to sneak a smiley face in, now and again.
Leaflets – the “manifesto leaflet”
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010In case anyone is interested (and to avoid repeating things in the future) I’m posting the two main leaflets that we used in the past couple of weeks.
Here is what we quaintly call the “manifesto” leaflet in West Lancs. This is the one for Noel and myself in Scott ward, Ormskirk.
It’s the main [...]
Voting Conservative, 28 Days later…
Saturday, April 10th, 2010There’s a brilliant spoof of the 28 days later trailer posted over at Political Scrapbook site. I’m sure that they won’t mind me linking to it here too.
They’re churning out a *lot* of excellent stuff and I’m sure that there’s a plenty more to come between now and May 6th. Well worth a visit.
Weird blog action
Saturday, March 20th, 2010For some reason this rarely updated blog has been down for the past couple of weeks following a server move. The old google analytics shows that it fell off a cliff about three weeks ago.
For a variety of reasons I’ve not even looked at this blog for about a month, so it completely passed [...]
From the archives – reaction to Peter Watt’s appointment as General Secretary
Sunday, January 10th, 2010While searching my old email archives this morning I came across this gem from an old friend of mine, reacting to the email that we’d all received announcing Peter Watt’s elevation to Labour Party general secretary:
To: “Steve Hanlon”
Subject: Fw: And your new General Secretary is…..
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005
The next General Secretary, to [...]
Police in West Lancashire are urging residents to remain vigilant to the threat of burglary
Sunday, January 10th, 2010From the Lancashire constabulary website:
POLICE in West Lancashire are urging residents to remain vigilant to the threat of burglary.
The warning follows an increase in offences over this month as a direct consequence of homeowners leaving front doors insecure or garden tools in their gardens which are then used to force windows and doors.
There have [...]
