This morning I took the speakers on tour around the Consituency to thank mt constituents. I spent a short time at the Yew Tree using the Radio Mike to talk to my supporters.
At 11am was the first advice bureau. The advice bureau is held at the usual location for Saturday advice bureaux ie 1772 Coventry Road.

I have heard a number of people questioning if you will be remaining as a councillor, indeed if you can remain so. There seems to be a wide spread belief that one cannot legally be both an MP and a councillor.
Do you have any comments on this?
Lots of people don't understand the law or indeed the nature of political office which is more a process of constitutional power mixed with platform. Neither are "jobs" in a traditional sense. I have never taken any money from my role as a City Councillor in any event.
Ian Paisley is renowned for having had pretty much the complete set. He's been a parish councillor, member of the NI Assembly, MP and MEP all at one go. Not that I'd be prepared to try and stop him - he's renowned for having the largest personal vote in the UK, if not Europe. About the only post he hasn't held is Pope, but I hear he has given up on that one.

I don't know what 'personal vote' means, but Paisley's old mate Gerry Adams in West Belfast had a bigger majority and a higher percentage of the vote.
Congratulations on the victory - we now have at least three bloggin Lib Dem MPs!
