Catchup to 11 May 09

Bloggers know that Catchup is made from only 7 natural ingredients!  And it’s been a slightly quiet week at t’Voice as our various contributors have been abroad or busy at work.

It was the week in which the party launched its new Party Election Broadcast, the Mirror tried to find ways in which supporting the Gurkhas is bad news for the Lib Dems and Mark Pack found fault with the timeless design classic that is the polling card.

My second entry into the Golden Dozen brought news (mainly good) from Sheffield and (not so good) Ashfield. Alix decided that blogs don’t need money (with my bursar hat on, I’d like to point out that this needs at least a couple of hundred quid a year to pay for hosting). And Lord Rennard had a problem with toilets and mice.  Or something.

Most comments this week was Stephen’s article gazing into the future to see what comes our way after June 4th, closely followed by Alix’s view that Gordon Brown should not resign.

Guest contributors this week included a monumental contribution from the internet’s favourite fluffy elephant, Prateek Buch on the Post Office and the co-op movement, Joe Taylor on the Tories going mad,  and Steve Pitt suggesting we stand for something other than elections. Lorna Spenceley gave a campaigning masterclass, and Andrew Lewin shared his thoughts on defending against a rising blue tide.

It’s not too late to join in the Weekly Meme – 7 Reasons I joined the Lib Dems, and in numbers – this week Golden Dozens #115 and #116 graced our screens. (I’m in #116 – did I mention?)

Just the one entry in CommentIsLinked@LDV: Caroline Pidgeon’s views on Boris Johnson’s first year.
