Yes, paint and DIY gear. A good shop to have in my book. Have bought from their other shops before. A notch up from what you'd find in Homebase. Might be bad news for decorator's mate just up the road though.

Yeah nice one. Plus two other albums on the shortlist (black midi and Fontaines DC) were recorded at Dan Carey's studio on Sunnyhill Rd!
I noticed that this morning. No sign of anything happening in there.

According to my street email group, it was a shooting at the Barber next to the Elm Park. One person injured but not fatal. Totally unsubstantiated though.

She sounds ok to me. Says she supports Corbyn. Which is more than can be said for my MP Helen Hayes.

Lambeth Labour are electing a new candidate this saturday. Is Labour likely to get a landslide like last time?
I've already had a LibDem canvasser round and wondered given we are such a remain constituency they might have a chance this time.

Her or the councillor who runs the parks, Braithwaite, I believe. Guess at least we know what latter is like, to some degree.
BusLanes

I doubt it will be a landslide - although a win is a win.
Labour have had it good in Lambeth 2015-17. The Tories were trending down in Lambeth and the Libs collapsed. The Greens obviously came back a bit in 14 but not enough to be a viable threat. Now roll on 2019 and it does seem possible at least that Labour's 9-10 years of pilling on votes in central-middle London may at least retreat a bit. That doesn't mean they lose seats though but it may be closer to 2005 or 2010 than 2017.
Labour/Chuka worked pretty hard in 2010 as did the Libs and Nicholson. Has anyone actually worked hard in the constituency since then?

Braithwaite is awful.

I do hope this election isn't just about Brexit.
LDs are trying to present themselves as the progressive Remain party.
But would LDs if in power really do tackle inequality or climate change?
The election leaflets they are putting out say this.
Record of Swinson is very patchy.
This article looks at her wavering between public concern on the big issues and her actual practice
Jo Swinson, fracking and social justice
Gramsci

Sorry I don't understand.
LDs chance of power came with going into coalition with the Tories. That was LD choice.
They supported Tories inflicting austerity on this country.
This was a political choice.
Now Swinson is saying she won't work with Corbyn led Labour party as Corbyn is "unfit" to lead this country. Its for me really aggravating. She never talked about Tories led by Cameron in this way. Despite the damage they did to this country.
What I'm saying is that Liberals now saying they are a party of the progressive centre left should be treated voters with extreme caution.
Swinson is part of those LDs who worked with Tories.
Her own Liberalism is of the right of the LD as a party.
