One of my favourite Labour bloggers is Councillor Bob Piper. His patch in Bearwood, Sandwell, is just up the road from where my gf’s family are based. As a proper socialist within the Labour Party, and one who isn’t afraid to buck the party line in public, he seems to get a fair amount of notice and respect.
Today he posted probably the most comprehensive take-down of Cameron and the NHS reforms. I heartily recommend the following post:
He outlines 6 key myths (or should we say ‘lies’) that the Tories are putting out to sell the NHS reforms. Each one is shown to be total hogwash. Yet Tory and Lib Dem MPs are soon going to troop through the Commons divisions to back these reforms.

Thanks for the link and the kind words comrade… but I still hope we beat you on Saturday! Oh… and that you stay up so that we can have another go next year!

Ha. You are still below us, so it’s your lot who need to worry about staying up. Why did you let that Sidwell lad go, though?
