Go to speak at the Muswell Hill and Highgate Pensioners Action Group in Tetherdown, Muswell Hill.

I love speaking to this group – none feistier in London. Transport and policing are the issues of the day – and as ever top of the list for pensioners are bus driver behaviour and not being able to get through to the local police when you need to. Two of my favourite campaigns.

The man who runs the group is no fan of the local Labour party (although real old Labour himself) and always wants me to put a bit in about the lack of democracy in Haringey. So I oblige by telling them tales of Labour’s misdoings. Last week it was the abolition of the Crime Committee at Haringey Council without consultation with anyone.

People would not believe what Labour do to stop us standing up for the residents of Haringey. They certainly wouldn’t vote for them ever again if they witnessed it. In fact, when residents come to full council or the executive meetings about an issue and see how Labour operate – we love it – because they always come out saying they can’ believe how Labour have behaved!
