A new member...

I am glad to report as Membership Secretary of Hackney North & Stoke Newington CLP (having waited until he announced it himself) that we have a new comrade ... blogger Dave Osler has rejoined the Labour Party.

We will be in the same ward party, which could mean there will be some interesting debates.

Dave isn't exactly coming from the same place as me in the political spectrum - in fact he named me in his chapter on Labour people in the public affairs industry in his book Labour Party plc - but as he explains in detail in his blog he is not an entryist, so I'm pleased he has rejoined.

We are an extremely broad church in the Hackney North party and manage to combine vigorous differences of opinion with being comradely and friendly towards each other, so I think he'll fit in fine.

Bloggers4labour can now add Dave to their lists ...
