Healthy thinking…
Nick Clegg has hit the nail on the head when it comes to ‘Health Reform.’ speaking recently at the party’s manifesto conference Nick spoke about putting more of the management of the NHS into the hands of local people. Government would fund and provide oversight for the NHS but more decisions would be taken ‘from […]

Climate change hits Stroud….
I isn’t raining as I write but the forcast for the next few hours and days is not looking good. Water levels in the Frome and Canal were running high both last night and this afternoon when I visited my Stroud Town Ward. Futher rain could cause mayhem for the residents and businesses […]

Funny goings on in Cardiff….?
So Captain Jack is back! For those who missed my favourite show (well after ‘Doctor Who’ that is…) Torchwood is back in all it’s glory.
I love Wales and especially Cardiff. The Lib Dems run the city after all! Its always fascinated me that another nation can be so close but at the same time be […] -

Too much government?…
Maybe because I’m involved in local government I’m often asked ‘what does the council actually do for us?’ Trouble is, there are so many different types of council! (Parish, District, County, Unitary…) so its not easy.
Liberal Democrats have long campaigned to decentralise power from Westminster (and Europe!… in certain cases) We want decisions made close […] -

Sniff!… has anyone NOT got a cold?!?
I am currently suffering form a rather nasty cold that has been going the rounds (sniff!) The good news is that its not ‘electronically contagous!’
Nick Clegg has made his first major speach today on the subject of public service reform. ‘Free Schools’ and local decision making in the NHS featured prominently. Lets see how these […] -

The Nuclear Option…
As the rain and sleet hammers down outside I pray that we don’t see a return to the flooding of the summer.
The Government is taking ‘Drastic Action’ to counter climate change, they say…. A new generation of Nuclear Stations to ‘keep the lights on’ Trouble is the first one won’t be online until 2020. The […] -

Liberals then and now
Yesterday I attended the thanksgiving service for the late John “Jack” Halford. Mr Halford had been a long serving member of the Liberal Party and had worked tirelessly to promote British Liberalism in Dursley and Stroud. Although I have not had the previlige of meeting him I am inspired by the fact that so many people, […]

Is the future Obama?
The more I see of Barack Obama the more I like. I am an internationalist by nature and have no time ‘anti-americanism’ or any other prejudice. In Senator Obama I see hope for a strong and progressive America, which is very good prospect!
I see the same qualities in many of the up and coming Liberal Democrat MPs. […] -

‘Action Day’ success
Having spent most of the day pounding the streets of Dursley I’m quite glad to return home. I quite like Dursley, don’t get me wrong (the views from Hardings Drive across to Long Down are splendid), But my feet ache!
All issues are ‘local issues’ someone once said. I am in politics for ‘local issues.’ Oil […] -

End of week… Start of weekend!
I am exhausted after a week of preparing for Stroud Lib Dems first ever ‘Action Day’
We (I hope its ‘we’..?!) will be decending on a ward in Dursley to campaign together as a single ‘local party’ team…. lots of fun! And a lot of hard work.
Back in the real world my science fiction career is […]
