weekend review

Just back from campaigning and doing a surgery in Haltwhistle with some of the team
- popped in to the local for drinks to discuss the electric car campaign with the pub

Tough week: spoke at length in the localism / big society debate, raised RHI and electric energy on thursday and answered a ton of correspondence.

Yesterday we went round Shotton Open Cast Mine, met with Northumberland National park and others

Review of the week

It has been a packed programme this week in westminster:
Monday - debates all day, tried to get to speak in the Localism Bill and then had my parents to dinner in the house. Finished 10.30
Tuesday - Writing speeches, lunch with Richard Moss, [I paid my share]over to Downing Street for drinks - both DC and Sam there with lots of candidates. Finished at 10.30
Wednesday - Fuel Poverty debate in westminster Hall, PMQs, and then prep for speeches
Thursday - A great speech session - made a good speech in the chamber on the future of the Levy. Tried to speak in Frank Fields debate but too far down the list
Slept very well
