- SERA is supporting the following Progress event tonight in the House of Commons, chaired by our National Secretary Melanie Smallman. 18:00 to 19:30 Wilson Room, Portcullis House, HoC, SW1A 0AA Progress policy review series Labour in office took its environmental credentials seriously, as Mayor of London Ken Livingstone pioneered congestion charging but the voters of Manchester voted down similar proposals.

- Well this was lunch today, some chorizo I bought in Santiago de Compostela fried up with some Jersey New Royals, fresh garlic and some roasted peppers. Missing some crusty bread, sadly.
