Rain rain and yet more rain!
However we managed to trawl the streets of Hull and as our route continues we are becoming more aware of the increasing support of the people. The people of Hull waved, clapped and nodded approval as we passed.
We attempted to get the Hull Daily Mail to report on the CEP Battle Bus but chose to [...]

Fantastic response from the people of Leeds!
Unfortunately both Yorkshire BBC and the Yorkshire Post were true to form and what we have come to expect from media outlets. Yorkshire ITV was not let off either!
Disappointed by the Yorkshire Post as they completely refused even to come down to their reception to speak to us. However we made [...]

Early morning disaster! Banner gone on one side! After long hard work, one side repaired and the other replaced.

Unsurprisingly, there [...]

Let’s get this straight right now – I do not support English Votes on English Laws.  It’s an insult to our nation and a constitutional fudge that is doomed to failure.
It is, however, a recognition of more than a decade of institutional discrimination against England at the hands of the British establishment and the need for [...]

There are now just four days left in the Power2010 online poll, and I’m sorry to report that Unlock Democracy and the Campaign for the English Region’s appeals to their members and supporters have had the desired effect of knocking English Votes on English Laws out of the top five reforms.
