Labour MP for Wavertree disappears as usual after the election.

Fri 20th Aug 2010

There has been no sight of the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Luciana Berger, in Wavertree since the General Election. She did more than any previous Labour MP in the election but since then like the Labour MPs before is nowhere to be seen.

Speed camera lunacy.

Fri 20th Aug 2010

Presumably the new tabloid press and Tory Council passion for turning off speed cameras will end after the first couple of children of tabloid reporters or Tory Council Leaders are killed by speeding cars. They will then criticise cameras being turned off and pretend it was never their policy.

A Council house should not be expected for life but on need.

Thu 5th Aug 2010

David Cameron has caused a furore by arguing that tenancies for Council houses should be reviewed after a period of time and not necessarily permanent. I can't understand Liberals (like my good friends Adrian Sanders, a housing expert, and Simon Hughes) who oppose what Cameron has actually said. As reported on BBC Radio 4 yesterday it sounded pretty unanswerable. Here was my reply to Adrian's comments on his Facebook page:

Congratulations to Derry.

Fri 16th Jul 2010

Congratulations to Derry on winning UK City of Culture 2013. The city has a vibrant heart and becoming better known by more people will benefit Britain and Ireland as well as Derry itself. It is good luck on my part that I was in Derry and able to sign up there to support the bid very much as a latecomer just four days before they were successful. As my father was schooled in Derry, my grandmother from there and I've spent many happy occasions visiting family and visiting with friends I was pleased to support the city's bid.
