George Mitchell school goes Online
Local people interested in keeping up to speed with the multitude of fantastic educational and community projects happening at George Mitchell school (where I am a governor), should visit the school’s superb website.
In recent weeks, the school’s Challenge 2012 project has been going from strength to strength (the school is just about to hand over money it’s raised for a school in El Salvador) and pupils running George Mitchell’s School Bank have also received a visit from Nick Ross, the presenter of BBC One’s ‘Crime Watch’ programme.
Well done all!
You’re doing Leyton proud! xx

Well done Liverpool Labour!
How on earth did I miss this?
Anyway, I am delighted for new Councillor Colin Strickland and his Labour colleagues in Liverpool.
You’ve just cheered up this London councillor no end!
Very well done and best of luck with your elections in May!

Rethink Trident! – Breakfast with Vivienne!!!!
Another day, another breakfast. This morning it was off to Westminster to take part in the ‘Rethink Trident‘ breakfast rally.
The parliamentary debate on whether to renew Trident is happening as we speak. At the time of writing, it is said that over sixty Labour MPs could rebel and vote against Parliament having to vote through a definitive decision, at the end of tonight’s debate, on whether Britain should renew its nuclear weapons (POST VOTE UPDATE: 95 Labour MPs voted against the government’s motion). The Rethink Trident campaign has been calling for the decision to be delayed until a new Prime Minister is in place.
“Is that?!” “No, it can’t be“! I hear you say… Yep, you were right the first time, that really is Vivienne Westwood, the UK fashion legend – mingling with the ‘Rethink Trident’ campaigners over early grey breakfast tea and sausage rolls!!!!
I have to say trying not to spill my breakfast down my front while gawping took some doing. Never in my life did I ever think I would find myself eating breakfast with Vivienne Westwood, at a Westminster anti-nuclear weapons rally!!! It was definitely a surreal experience 
But Vivienne wasn’t the only “celeb” in da house. The rally’s Westminster lefties were also joined by Annie Lennox of Eurythmics and one of my absolute female heroines, Dame Anita Roddick (pictured above with me), founder of the Body Shop and Business Woman extraordinare!!!
Sausage rolls, lefty mates and glamourous celebs all in one place?
Call me shallow (I know, I know! ) but even though I have really enjoyed all the various events I’ve attended this week, for this glossy mags junkie with a fierce girlie streak, this morning’s celeb breakfast has won hands down!!!
