Tomsk79: Life in a marginal: endgame
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-in-marginal-endgame.html
Thursday, 7 May 2015. Life in a marginal: endgame. Lest we forget that it's polling day today, the Lib Dems got up early to remind us:. The scan cannot adequately convey the sheer size and weight of this greeting. It was impossible to see the hallway beneath it. If the election were decided purely on last day polling reminder card area, the Lib Dems would be odds on for a landslide. The Labour effort looked a bit feeble in comparison:. So what was the result of all these months of persuasion? Attack of t...

Tomsk79: March 2015
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Life in a marginal: a brief guide to Manchester Withington. It's therefore going to take more than a gazillion leaflets for Leech to hold on to the seat, and I wouldn't put any money on him doing so, but the party is clearly putting in significant resources here, so the local results may not be as predictive as you might expect. When I say like, I mean really really like. We received yet another Lib Dem Focus today, the first from plain un-suffixed John Leech (TMFKAOMIW):. I parti...

Tomsk79: March 2012
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 11 March 2012. A Lib Dem logic question. Is not calling on peers to support a bill equivalent to calling on peers not to support a bill? Opinions don't appear not to not undiffer. Saturday, 10 March 2012. How a Lib Dem meltdown could benefit the liberal left. At this weekend's spring conference, Lib Dem activists have perhaps their last chance. Unless . perhaps the Lib Dem parliamentary party really are as decent as Tim Farron claims. Perhaps they're acting for the greater good of the liberal left.

Tomsk79: January 2015
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 January 2015. Amid the impressive and heart-warming displays of solidarity, there has sadly also been a lot of rubbish written about Charlie Hebdo and its cartoons on the English-speaking web over the past week (I've seen the beautiful term 'anglosplaining' used for this phenomenon). Rather than add to the pile, here are some links to pieces doing the rounds that I've found genuinely informative. Two of them are by actual French people. On the French satirical tradition:. Bottom line: Charl...

Tomsk79: Life no longer in a marginal
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-no-longer-in-marginal.html
Friday, 8 May 2015. Life no longer in a marginal. Withington was a very comfortable win. Mysterious Independent: 0.1%. The outcome was remarkably close to Ashcroft's poll. From almost a year ago. If that was a true snapshot then the Lib Dems' impressive campaign was worth all of 2% extra on their vote. It appears their famous incumbency bonus vanished this time, in line with the many other Lib Dem losses around the country. The Predict-o-Matic 5000. Clearly requires some adjustment. Life in a marginal.

Tomsk79: July 2015
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. Just when you thought it was safe to check the mail. Yes, the Lib Dems are back in the game! And there's a proper old-fashioned dodgy bar chart on the back to prove it:. PS: Slightly embarrassed that Leech has got back in touch before I got round to writing my very important reflections on being a stay-at-home Dad. I blame the pressure of no longer being a stay-at-home Dad. Labels: life in a marginal. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Adventures in paternity leave. Life in a marginal.

Tomsk79: February 2015
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 February 2015. Life in a marginal: Jobs! As a committed reader of upmarket glossy South Manchester Life, I look down on those who take lowbrow inky tabloid South Manchester News. Or at least I would, if they didn't both come free through my letterbox. Here's the latest News front page:. Labels: life in a marginal. Wednesday, 25 February 2015. Life in a marginal: An MP writes. I am jealous of Mrs Tomsk, who has received a personal letter addressed to her personally from Our Man in Westminster.

Tomsk79: April 2015
http://tomsk79.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Life in a marginal: still uncanvassed. Plus I'm a stay-at-home Dad so I'm in all day and can even offer a traditional baby-kissing opportunity. Roll up! But her face is covered in porridge! Do you want my vote or not? The leaflets keep on coming of course. Mrs Tomsk has received a personal letter addressed personally to her from John Leech. It's all but identical to the one I was sent except that the controversial opening paragraph. In window poster news, a Green Party poster has ...
