Congratulations to Michael Lord and Richard Spring for getting  into the House of Lords.  There’s no real reason to do this apart from inserting an old picture of now Lord Spring when he was campaigning in Bridge at the last election:

Now Lord Spring at Hillside

He was especially keen to be photographed outside the Sure Start near Hillside after hearing the story about Gordon Brown’s visit being disrupted by an independent minded three year old telling everyone “Oh no,  hide” when the Scottish pension stealer came in the room.  (Sadly I can’t find either that video on the Evening Star site or the Sure Start picture on my computer).

I was very impressed with the then Mr Spring who despite the fact that he was about to leave Parliament proved himself to be a very enthusiastic campaigner, and I know from both Labour and Tories that MPs who are just about to depart tend not to be very interested in knocking on doors.
