So – my old partner in crime is leaving the Lib Dems! Mark Pack – my campaign manager who masterminded the Lib Dem strategy in Haringey and Hornsey & Wood Green and who has been at Lib Dem HQ forever – is going to become an Associate Director at Mandate PR. I think they are well lucky to get him!

He is such a brilliant man! Can’t imagine what the Lib Dems will do without him. But I think it will be good for him to have new frontiers and challenges. I have no doubt he will continue to aggravate me by text, email, phone – regardless! Wishing him all the luck and happiness in the world.
