Campaigning in the Stroud Green by-election all weekend. A Labour resignation before Christmas has led to this and it is a battle and then some. A win from Labour for us gives us 16 to their 14 councillors in the constituency of Hornsey & Wood Green – already a target seat for the next General Election.

One small break from campaigning on Sunday night, when I am one of the guests of honour at a Burns Night celebration by Holborn & St Pancras and Camden LibDems. Scots Piper and Haggis!

I was giving the Reply for the Lassies – which is meant to be short and funny. Not easy to be funny – especially as joke-telling is kind of a boy thing. However, I was risque and hopefully amusing enough – and finished with probably the only joke I do tell:

‘What do women in politics make best for dinner?’

‘Reservations!’

It’s better with wine!
