A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
It was a lively night at Lambeth Town Hall last night, with the 1980s re-enactment society putting in an appearance in the person of Ted Knight.

Good speech by Ted.
Dont see what the problem is. I would rather resign as a councillor than administer cuts. Better the chief executive do it than a democratic representative of the people who has to look the voters in the eye day to day.
