Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Education Bill day today! And we fail to defeat the Government - but only because the Tories decide to prop them up. What kills me is the amount of time and effort spent on moving the deck-chairs - this Bill is all about structures not education and we have over 180 children who don't even have a place at secondary school in Haringey. What a load of nonsense!

Rush back to Haringey where the Haringey Lib Dems are selecting prospective candidates for the local elections. I don't get there until around 9pm as they are just finishing. All went well - and we now have our prospective candidates for the wards. Looking forward to the campaign - it will be a real contest with Labour’s decades long grip on the council under real threat at last!
