Distractions in Ponteland

Wednesday: out and about in Ponteland talking to local residents and delivering leaflets to get our message out. This beautiful cat wouldn't stop following me, probably because I couldn't stop petting it. Ponteland hasn't had a Labour councillor in donkey years, but that's not to say that there's not significant support on the estate for what the Labour Government has been doing in Westminister these past 13 years - investment in the NHS, education, Sure Start, tax credits, winter fuel allowance, free bus pass for pensioners, etc. You only need to look at the investment in the local Ponteland schools to see that (my cousins Jonathan and Alistair went to Ponteland High School).
