All over bar the shouting!

Tomorrow is D-day, as in the day that Northsampton South Labour Party finally select their (our) PPC for the next general election, local support is firmly behind my friend, at least as far as the activists are concerned. This is for obvious reasons, she works, she works hard and then she does more work, for The Party, the people and the community. She has principles, she has policies and she has integrity, so I am praying to the gods (whoever they may be) that those members who are eligible to vote give her their wholehearted support. Northampton South needs Anjona, The Labour Party need Anjona and the community needs Anjona, let us all hope they get her.

Again

So tonight we phone canvassed again for the Party, not for the prospective prospective parliamentary candidate but for the Party, although yet again (and this is weeks in) there was only one of the PPPC's with us, the others are all aware we do this every wednesday, so why, if they are serious about representing Northampton South and the Labour Party, are they not there?

Here we go.....

well it's 3 days to go 'til selection, one more mailing and then the hustings..... so far so good we hope, despite not because as they say.....

Finally moved!!

Well here I am, moved but seriously not unpacked! But am very glad I did. Anjona has been shortlisted with over 70% of nominations from the branches and a significant number of Trade Union and other affiliated organisations.

Hurray Hurray Hurray!!! But there is many a slip between cup and lip, so the serious campaigning continues! The difference between my friend and the other shortlisted candidates is that not onle is she campaigning to be selected, but that she is continuing to campaign for the Labour Party per se.

For example this week alone we have produced 2000 leaflets, folded and bundled ready for delivery tomorrow ( and the chances are that myself and Anjona will deliver them single handed), phone canvassed and contacted around 75 people, recruited a possible 3 new members, as well as Anjona's personal campaigning..... Not that I'm blowing any Trumpets ( actually more your full brass band.....including Euphonium, French Horn and full Percussion! ).

On a personal note I have the frustration of lack of internet and Sky Talk and the continuing unpacking saga......
