Whatever you think of the Labour Party, it's pretty rich of you Mitch to make the suggestion that Tessa does not show her face around Dulwich. She's always around doing something.

On a wider point, every comment I've read about the election has been laced with cynicism and complacency. My view is that if you don't believe in the political process and have no intention of voting, then don't bother commenting and subjecting the rest of the world to your lack of interest.

Politics matters!

Cynicism is one thing, but what on earth gives you the gall loftily to suggest that the people commenting on politics on this forum are not planning to vote?

Tony, as you say, you were talking about someone else so I won't take offence, but for info, I love politics and will certainly vote.


I should admit to being biased in my anti-Tessa comments.


On a separate note, I do think the minor parties should get more media coverage. At least they have different opinions. The Lib Dems get equal coverage to the Tories and Labour, despite garnerning half the votes.

Parliament's still sitting this week. Even then, she'll still carry on being a cabinet minister, so may have other demands on her time. Is there any specific detriment in her not having been on your particular doorstep yesterday, today, tomorrow, ...?


Come to that, I've had no candidates at all at my door yet. Should I be wailing about them all? Perhaps they all think they have it in the bag.

Hi everybody,


Just been shopping on Lordship Lane - where were you? ;-)


I'm out and about tomorrow - advice session at Kingswood House followed by discussions with the police and private visits to relatives of a constituent who was the victim of a serious crime. West Norwood and Lordship Lane on Saturday and campaigning hard on Sunday.


On Monday I am at an LGBT event at the Ritzy from 6pm to 8pm. On which subject - in case you've missed it - you can see the real face of David Cameron here:



Proof, along with the recent comments by Chris Grayling, that the Tories are just pretending to be comfortable in modern, tolerant Britain, when actually they're just the same old Tories.


What a beautiful day in East Dulwich. I love this time of the year when the blossom is just fantastic.


Tessa Jowell

Hmmm, let me see. 12.37 on a Thursday. Where was I? Oh yes, in the office, doing an honest day's work (not a phrase I'd expect an MP to understand), all for the privilege of giving half of my salary to the government to flush down the toilet. Still, nice to know that our local MP was out and about enjoying the sunshine and getting the shopping in. Hopefully after May 6th she'll have a bit more time for things like that...

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
