At the by-election celebration party

We are currently at the party to celebrate our victory in the Whickham South and Sunniside byelection in Gateshead. We held the seat on 31st July with a mere 72% of the vote. I have an interest in the ward as I am one of the councillors here. But our new councillor, John McClurey, has put on this bash for the helpers and 60 people have turned up.

And if anyone from the local Labour party is reading this blog - and let's face it plenty of you do! - come along and join us in the Coachmans in Whickham. And since you have nowt to celebrate yourself, come and celebrate our success! But there again, by the time you read this, I guess we all would have headed home. So in the meantime, we are all thinking of the local Labour party, and having a good laugh!
