Our belated guide to the highlights here at LDV. Read this if you don’t read anything else this summer:

Our guest contributors included

• Alexis Rowell, exhorting us to eat less meat
• Neale Upstone’s review of our performance
• Martin Turner’s consideration of Apathy in the UK

You, our readers, weighed in with dozens of comments about

• Linda Jack’s article about child poverty
• Our new poll about the next general election
• Of course - our Question Time open thread

There was also lots and lots of by-election news from Crewe and Nantwich (polling this week! Go there if you possibly can!) and slightly less news from Henley.
