April 15th, 2010Labour are “done in Harborough”
April 12th, 2010
Labour’s prospective candidate for Harborough appears to think that knocking on doors in Corby is a better use of his time that supporting his own campaign here.
A Tweet from the Labour PPC on Saturday read:
“Done in Harborough, now off to join @peterbowers, @Gavinlambert in Corby #labourdoorstep”
I cannot blame him given that they have come 3rd in every election since 1979.
On May 6th Harborough, Oadby & Wigston will elect a Lib Dem MP or a Tory MP. Labour appear to appreciate this and are spending their time in a nearby marginal seat in Northamptonshire.

A rare sighting of Mercury
April 8th, 2010I saw the planet Mercury for only the second time on Sunday evening. It’s a tricky planet to spot as it stays so close to the Sun on our sky and is only seen just after sunset or sunrise.
For the next week or so the brilliant “star” that is the planet Venus points the way. Venus can been seen low in the west just after sunset. At around 8.30pm or after you should be able to spot fainter Mercury to the right of Venus. A clear gap in the clouds is the main problem to seeing it.
