As the newly elected MP for Yardley I am intending to start my campaign of listening to the people of Yardley. Sadly, however, today I need to attend a funeral. The campaign will, therefore, start tomorrow.
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I have not posted anything for a few days. I have been a bit busy.
However, normal service will resume in the near future (and hopefully a picture of more of the cats).

Congratulations.
Keep the seat warm John, we're having it back!
Bob: The Labour Party said this when I won Acocks Green 15 years ago.
A temporary setback caused by a number of temporary issues. 2009, with Gordon in power, Yardley will come home as the nation swings back to Labour.
I will be chasing up these issues.
For the moment the MP Advice bureau is Saturday at 11am.
Personally I feel it may be better to have a regular and frequent bureau at a central location than to have monthly ones that move around. However, we will probably issue a survey on Focus to find out what the constituents want about this. I will be having a number of meetings on Friday nights in Birmingham so I probably won't do Friday nights.
