Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

Liverpool Labour on the campaign stump
A pretty good team out in Liverpool tonight, campaigning for a Labour victory for Mayor and in the local elections, 2012.
You will remember no doubt that last year, Warren Bradley, then the leader of the LibDems suggested that Labour were "snooing" the streets of Wavertree with all sorts of outside help. This photo shows that we can "snoo" anywhere, anytime, and we don't need outside help! Liverpool Labour - a force to be reckoned with (and this is only some of the people we had out tonight, there were members knocking on doors all over the city). Thank God for the good weather this evening that kept the papers dry.
I am so proud of everyone who has worked so hard and put in so many hours, with such good humour.
Thanks everyone!
PS None of us have the slightest idea what "snooing" actually is, or what it means, but since Warren's outburst it has become synonymous, in Labour parlance, with large groups of activists taking the campaign to the public on the doorstep.
