I'm Labour's candidate for South Derbyshire, following in the footsteps of Mark Todd MP.
I've been helping in South Derbyshire since 1992, both at General Elections and at by-elections in Melbourne (2000), Hilton (2005) and Church Gresley (2007).
I'm a Nottingham City Councillor, having retained the Mapperley ward in 2007's elections for the sixth time. (The ward once covered the 3rd most Tory part of Nottingham City.)
The pressure was on us in 2007. And I hope the stories conveyed during the campaign period were of interest.
I use this blog to tell stories of general political interest.
Haven't logged an entry for some time cos of campaigning activtity, so I'll start submitting a series of entries that have been building up for some time.
