"Things can only get worse"
Depressed Labour activists are rumoured to have changed the words of Labour's adopted election anthem in 1997, substituting 'get worse' for 'get better'. The recent loss of the Glasgow by election to the SNP could of course be written off as a one off by election spectacular -except that it is not a one off. Labour has now defended 3 rock solid majorities in Parliamentary by elections since the 2005 General Election and they have lost every one. Dunfermline to the Liberal Democrats, Crewe to the Conservatives and Glasgow to the SNP.

Learning From the Past
Last Saturday I attended the Old Whittington Gala, a vibrant and well attended annual event which is a credit to its local organisers. Napoleonic soldiers paraded outside the Revolution House, a superb brass brand played, children climbed in and out of the police van and the wide variety of stalls did a roaring trade. A newcomer this year was the RAAW stall (Residents Against Asbestos Waste), a local group who are doing an outstanding job of campaigning against the application to put an asbestos waste transfer site smack in the middle of a densely populated urban area.
