THE BIG ISSUE ROUND HERE....

I have just done an interview on local democracy with The Big Issue. And I have said lots of nice, positive things about Labour locally because there are lots of positive things to say. Our work on the environment, fair wages, Fair Trade, our involvement in the anti-war and peace movement marks us out from the run-of-the-mill. We're about to start a campaign for social housing too. The results of this interview will be in the Big Issue In The North April 28. Now I am off to get ready for a civic dinner with the outgoing Mayor and my fellow Labour councillors, who include two other LRC members.
