Canning Town Voter ID

I was out tonight campaigning in Canning Town with West Ham Labour Party members Bryan Collier and Ahmed Noor. Byran is a UNISON member who use to be a member of my 3rd favourite branch, Lambeth Local Government!   I must have a chat to him some time about the “Levithan Witch hunter”.

While Ahmed is I am reliably informed the son of the first Asian shop keeper in Green Street.

There were a large number of Newham “Team Labour” canvassers out tonight. I was leading our team and wished I bought a torch since it was so dark I was sending them to the wrong door numbers. Yet another reason for my firm belief that political campaigning is ideally a summer sport. The response tonight from voters was again very good. 

Blogging Labour MP Tom Harris posted yesterday a really sensible article on political canvassing.

Off topic, but it seems all is not well in the Holmes camp. If any candidates other than Dave Prentis get sufficient nominations there will be an election. So why is Jon Rogers banging on about how important it is to have an election? Maybe he could simply ask Marsha to publish Holmes' nominations on Holmes' website to show he's got a chance of being a candidate? It's not a secret is it? Transparency and all that, surely?

So sorry to hear the sad news about Michael Foot. Not only a towering intellect of the socialist movement, but also a really sincere and gentle man.

As usual John doesn't research what he says properly. It's meant to be the Leviathan Witch Hunter.

Hi Anons

No Nick - who knows best on all such things calls it "Levithan"
