Wednesday evening sees my reselection for the seat of Hornsey & Wood Green. Happily – the motion passed unanimously. My lot know a work-horse when they see one!
We had the local party’s AGM on the same evening – and it was really well-attended, with a new Tottenham Branch also formed, following the election of our first councilors in the seat in May (and moving back up to second place in the Parliamentary seat in 2005). Hopefully we will replicate our success in Hornsey & Wood Green in Tottenham.
The second half of the evening was political debate. Paul Marshall, who runs the Centre Forum think tank came to discuss his book Britain after Blair, in which I wrote a chapter on race relations. Given that Haringey is one of the most multi-cultural areas in the country – and all the debate about veils at the moment – we had a pretty lively evening on both race and Blair!
Lynne Featherstone 
Glad to hear you’re going to be running again Lynne.
Dear Lynne,May I strongly urge you to vote against the government and censure them for their role in deceiving the public on the grounds for going to war in Iraq. It is pure nonsense that it would be seen as a sign of weakness. The situation is already disastrous and approaching meltdown. A withdrawal of some form is surely imminent.The Lib Dems have no need to give in to this form of bullying and could perform a useful role in expressing public discontent with the way the US is leading us by the nose.Please let me and othersknow your position on this!Regards,Stephen Lubell (N22)
