A random combination of political nerdery, faith, running and enjoying Milton Keynes life with a young family. Ex-city councillor, still interested in what makes MK tick.
Yes I agree. The evidence that people will reluctantly line up behind a "not-Labour" alternative to Reform is growing. Caerphilly, local-by-elections, opinion polling. The evidence that people in numbers will come back to Labour to beat Reform - where is it?

I would keep an eye on whether the money is actually paid. I wouldn't bet on it!

I'm jealous of you in a seat where the anti-Reform vote isn't Labour. Just feels an impossible ask to support Labour next time with how feeble they've been in Government and taking on Reform's actual arguments.

Am I missing something? It's a *branch* meeting for members, a routine part of political activity? Not out of the ordinary to have food at such a meeting. Part of the social aspect of political activity.

Very different from offering free food to members of the public.

Branching out into fantasy I see!

Milton Keynes was really designed as a buffer zone to block the marauding forces from Oxford from advancing on Cambridge. All planned that way from the start.

The right line I think - but members need to have a formal say on this very soon.

I'd agree with most of that relating to IT as well!

Tag them? Proof-reading as strong as ever!

Think he's suspended from Labour at the moment. So expect the amendment to be roundly ignored.

And at the top of the climb near Cardington. Messed up - thought I could get to the second sprint but missed them by a couple of minutes oops
