Conference Speech on Science Funding in full – with text

I meant to do this a while ago and didn’t get around to it and in the last couple of weeks a few people have mentioned to me that they would actually like to watch the speech (or they’re just being polite), as they missed it at the time and it’s no longer available on iPlayer. I captured the video (below), unfortunately the sound quality isn’t fabulous so I apologise for that.

Countdown to #Lab12

Just a quick update, after another shamefully long blog absence, to say that I will be at Labour Party Conference again this year (as delegate from my CLP, many thanks to Leeds West members for the vote) and will be tweeting and blogging throughout, as well as trying to keep up with my MA reading…

Whilst I’m here I’ll also highlight this awesome HTS story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19728375

See you at conference!

 

Update: Also I’ll be rearranging and updating this site a bit in the coming weeks so if things have vanished, like the side links, that’s why.

Out on the streets…

Hello.

I’d like to apologise for my distinct lack of blogging of late but my absence is for good reason.

As, I hope, everyone will have noticed by now the General Election campaign proper is underway and that means I am spending a great deal of my free time on the campaign for Rachel Reeves in Leeds West – and sometimes for Jamie Hanley neighbouring constituency Pudsey (which is Tory target seat 98 I believe).  I’m pleased to say that we seem to be getting some very positive feedback in both areas and things are looking good. Still no leaflets to my home from any other party, that’s 4-0 to Labour – shows how much the Tories and Lib Dems care I suppose.

This is one of the leaflets we delivered in the sun on Saturday afternoon which a resident has uploaded to thestraightchoice. I think it’s rather good, if I do say so myself:

Hopefully I will manage to get on and blog more during the campaign, for now I will say good luck to all Labour MPs, PPCs and activists in their own campaigns. Let’s go out and win a Labour 4th term for the people of Britain!
