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.
I can't understand how the Tories can make their first priority, the repeal of the Hunting Act!

Labour's first steps in 1997 were - independence for the Bank of England and a windfall tax on the privatised utilities, to pay for jobs and training with the New Deal.
