High Peak

Had an interesting Friday night in High Peak at the general committee. This is are of the key seats we need to need to win in the next election. Having been gained in 1997 we now hold it with a majority of 735.

We had a good discussion about the current political situation and three points emerged strongly:

1) Too much is being left to Gordon Brown and other ministers have to be more prominent in taking the fight to the Tories.

2) We need to put the Tories under much more rigorous scrutiny

3) We need to clarify and simplify our message – bring back the pledge cards.
