The weekend got off to a good start with a couple of trips to Brighton on Friday.  First Jayne and went down for a look around and to do some shopping, which also involved a delicious full English breakfast.  After taking her and her goodies home I went back with the kids to see Richard […]

Job-sharing MPs
September 12th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Politics
Another story from the Argus, and some more attention-seeking from Caroline Lucas who thinks that MPs should be allowed to job share.  The principle seems to be that other jobs can be filled by two people job-sharing, so why not MPs, which is fine but MPs never tire of telling us that it is not […]

Brighton podcast
December 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
I took Frankie out to another comedy show tonight. Something a bit different this time – Richard Herring and Andrew Collins doing a live recording of the Collings and Herrin Podcast in Brighton. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed.
Godless Brighton

A new priest in Brighton has described the place as “Britain’s most Godless city” and promised to sort that out.
Labour conference – day five
October 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Politics
The last day of conference is a funny one. It is only a half-day for a start. I imagine the original reason for that is so that delegates and others can stand a chance of getting home afterwards if they live at the other end of the country. That does still apply, of course, for […]

Labour conference – day four
September 30th, 2009 · Comments Off on Labour conference – day four · Politics
Following Tuesday’s over-long day, when I was in Brighton from 0800 to 2300 I took it a bit easier today and caught a later train. Actually a bit later than intended: Jayne was a bit unwell and waiting for the doctor to call back so no lift to the station – I had to walk […]

Labour conference – day three
September 30th, 2009 · Comments Off on Labour conference – day three · Politics
Day three started far earlier than I would have liked. In fact I was in the Hilton Metropole at a fringe event at a time when many delegates and visitors staying in Brighton itself had probably not got up. I was there for the British Humanist Society’s second annual ‘no prayer’ breakfst,
Labour conference – day two
September 29th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Politics
A slightly late start for me. I missed the absolute start of the day’s sessions so I missed the Scotland report and the first Welfare & Economy debate and the Economy Q&A. I was in time for some rousing speeches from Yvette Cooper and Alistair Darling before lunch and also caught up with my school […]

Labour conference – day one
September 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics
Well I finally made it to a party conference. It is too early to know yet whether the conference is/will be a success for the party or for me. I am still getting used to the whole thing. As it is only down the road I am commuting, making use of the 20% discount I […]
