Well finally it’s here! Worksop’s new Bus Station has finally opened and now local bus passengers can wait for their buses in a dry warm area. I have lived In Worksop for over 26 years and can honestly say that the old collection of bus stops on Hardy Street were a disgrace. Since I got […]

At the Election Hustings earlier this year, John Mann made a great play as to how he was independent mided and would always put the interests of Bassetlaw first. When I pointed out that if fact his voting record was that of a labour loyalist ( What you are voting for? ), he took exception […]

As you will know by now, I didn’t win the election last week.  Actually that is putting it mildly, it was a bit of a disaster for us here in Bassetlaw as it was for Liberal Democrats across the UK. However, although we are chasten at the verdict of the electorate, we are not giving […]

The Tories are in a bind over Europe. Instead of talking up the benefits of our relationship with the EU they have let UKIP set the agenda. Instead of exposing Nigel Farage’s troupe as a one-issue party – with nothing to say on the economy, NHS or environment – they have ratcheted up their anti-Brussels […]

Going around canvassing, I heard from many of those who were Lib Dem supporters in 2010 that if only Nick Clegg had gone into a Coalition with Labour then they would still support the party.
