David Rendel visits

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.
