Tuesday westminster update

A packed programme - off to Downing Street at 2 to see the PM as we all get organised for the AV referendum; I am speaking on the 24th March. We have already put out literally thousands of AV referendum and my leaflets but hope to deliver more before early May.
Keen to hear David Cameron's views in detail on AV referendum.

Home for the weekend

Am tucked up here at home as the snow lashes down. The last time we held the Christmas Fair in Newcastle we got snowed off! This must be fate.
Have seen over 15 people in my surgeries, done a trip to Newcastle for the BBC Sunday show on localism / planning and generally met various other people in the time in between. Last night we met a number of the Tynedale youth teams, and tomorrow it is off to Newcastle and then Durham for an evening do with the local conservatives
May struggle but will try and take in the rugby at some stage...

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
