Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

No real surprises here, with one story dominating your and my attention - the awful death of Baby P.

10. George Meehan and Liz Santry resign - the two key Labour councillors (council leader and lead member for children's services) finally took responsibility for Haringey Council's failings.
9. Baby P investigation update - thoughts following a meeting with Cabinet minister Ed Balls.
8. Panorama on Baby P - my advance thoughts, particularly on how the pressure to agree may result in people not sticking by their concerns.
7. Baby P at PMQs - a very brief post, but got lots of traffic due to the Brown-Cameron spat making that PMQs very high profile.
6. The departure of Sharon Shoesmith - my reaction to the (eventual) departure of the head of Haringey's children's services and education.
5. The roles of Sharon Shoesmith and George Meehan - in which I explain why I believed they should take responsibility for the errors and blunders exposed in the Baby P saga.
4. Brian Coleman and the Fire Brigade - see no.3.
3. Fire Brigade rushes to help - the Brian Coleman saga where, for latecomers, I feared for my and family's safety, called the Fire Brigade - who said I did the right thing - but Brian Coleman (Conservative London Assembly member) took it upon himself to criticise. Cue numerous comments on my various blog postings and via my website from firemen agreeing with my actions.
2. Reading the Baby P Serious Case Review - after initially being kept secret, the review was shown to a small number of MPs, myself included
1. Baby P verdict - reaction to the trial verdict.

So - that was the last quarter. Let's see what gets your attention in the next one...
