For reasons that puzzle me I am still getting gossip from the Ipswich Labour Party.  Two different facts from two different people:

1.  The Ipswich Labour Party could not get a stand together for the Suffolk University College freshers’ fair.  The Tories did.  The Lib Dems did too, during their party conference week.  A couple of left wing students are mighty annoyed, apparently.

2.  Membership figures have been shown to me which show that while there are 16 members who are “young” (under 28) there are 98 who are pensioners.    The Ipswich Labour Party is more than six times as likely to be eligible for a free bus pass than a young person’s rail card.

These two facts are not inconsistent.
