The weather is brilliant here in sunny Littlehampton, better than it was in August!

I’m still in a bit of shock over Ming’s departure. I knew it was a matter of WHEN not IF, but I expected a bit more of a media flurry, I had just written a leaflet featuring Ming, luckily we had problems with the printer so we could call it off!!! 

I just want us to get a leader in place now and get on with the job. I just hope there are more candidates than we had last time and more choice! Leadership contests can get quite nasty as the media stir it up. The media don’t understand the LibDem electoral system which makes it worse.
