Apologies to the handful of people who usually take a look at this site. I’ve been busy earning a crust, sleeping a lot and getting a year older. Also some of the things that I’ve really wanted to blog about would no doubt bring calls for me to be kicked out the party (it’s happened before, believe me) – so I thought it best to take a step back.

But enough of that. There are serious things happening in Ormskirk and West Lancs and the prospect of the Tories running the Borough, County and having a local MP are just too awful to comprehend. So I’m dusting off the laptop, finishing off the half-written newsletters and putting the Ashes and the almost-Summer behind me. Time to get working again.
