A piece of unsolicited mail prompts some thoughts about where the Labour Party goes from here.

 

I don't think there has been enough attention on the political impact for Labour of the reorganisation of local government in many rural areas.  In many areas we've seen the abolition of district and county councils without the consent of voters. This appears to be well-off the radar of the London media but it's causing ripples locally and in other parts of the country too that will hurt us in May. 

What was your verdict?
Did you get your question answered?

Already five of the six deputy leadership candidates have signed up in support of the Campaign for a Democratic Upper House.

The Mirror newspaper put together a panel of six members of the public to interrogate the six candidates for the Deputy Leader's post. They all made good account of themselves, but one candidate stood out more than the others.  The panel was made up of Silla Carron (Pride of Britain Neighbour of the Year), Mohamed Lodhi (pensioner), Lesley Ward (school teacher), Emma Chapman (nurse) and Katan Alder (student).
