David Rendel, MP - shadow Higher Education spokesperson for the LibDems - came to Hornsey as our guest of honour at a party social.
He came to have a look at a couple of schools with me - given the untenable pressure on schools around Crouch End, the Lib Dems have been campaigning for a new primary school - and to Priory Road where we are campaigning for a pedestrian crossing to be introduced.
David spoke very eloquently about our fantastic by-election success in Brent East and what that meant for us in Hornsey & Wood Green. If we replicated that swing, we would take this seat by 15,000 votes. Way to go ...
However, he then upset us all by saying that he believed IDS would go within two weeks. Now we love IDS and want him to stay. Between such a damaged and ineffectual Tory leader and a prime minister who has abused our trust (regardless of whether we were for or against going to war) the LibDems are doing pretty well right now.
