Blog awards
I appear (oddly) to have been nominated for “best blog by a woman non-Liberal Democrat” in the Lib Dems’ women’s section’s blog awards. Many thanks to Mary Reid for the nomination, possibly for this post, but how strange… Especially as my expressed hope for this year is to kick out a failing Lib Dem administration running down our beautiful city.

That’s great, because a shorter way of saying “best blog by a woman non-Liberal Democrat” is (certainly) “best blog by a woman” and (arguably) “best blog”.
It’s an indictment of our cynicism as a nation that you can find such a gesture of generosity and solidarity bewildering. After all, what is there in this to find suspicious?
Rejoice and be happy. Someone thought your blog was great and wanted others to read about it too, that’s all. So keep blogging!
Shape the Party of European Socialists Manifesto in London!
Every major issue (and solution) has global reach and every global issue has local impact. Only by making it more relevant to people’s everyday lives can we develop a more social and democratic Europe. That’s why PES Activists and Compass Youth want to make connections that will keep the PES in touch with the most dynamic and innovative thinking of local activists. You are the eyes and ears of your communities so come and join the debate with our amazing line-up of speakers and feed in your ideas and opinions. We will also launch our EU Citizens for London campaign as part of this series of debates.
