Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey produce top three results for referendum
Not surprisingly we also voted for proportional representation, so we take heart that we live in a progressive borough.
Sadly this wasn't enough to counterbalance the vote in the rest of England and Wales.

By default the UK, with a 70% turn out.

While we were sampling at the count Harringay ward was more like 9 to 1 and our sampling was accurate overall so the ward was more like 90%

Can you forward those details to the BBC to correct their figures.
Who's Cllr James Ryan's replacement, were you canvassing today?

What do you mean Matt ?

How could they do that? More importantly, why would they?

Maybe Labour were just sounding support and not canvassing in North Harringay on Sunday.

Matthew ? Sorry we don't need to have a candidate to knock on doors! The liberal democrats have been out every day since the 17th. According to David Schmitz who I spoke to at the referendum count he firmly assured me that nothing was official about who their candidate is. Ease up everyone although I do smile about the preoccupation of some members on this site about who and how democratically the Labour Party candidate is selected. It's perfectly OK for Justin to announce that he would have been the Tory candidate, or everyone to just assume or decide its Karen not David or what about Asha Kaur ? What about Mark Alexander?? Jenny Hollis ? Dawn Barnes?. Oh for the Greens of course it will be you won't it Matt :) how many members get to vote on any of these decisions.

I am starting to wonder if this thread is more suitable to an internal Labour website. Despite not being allowed in, John continues with his obsession via-a-vis Labour candidates (he once said the internal selections are the real elections). Many people with found/find that viewpoint breathtakingly arrogant. I wouldn't write off Karen or David--despite the LibDems poor showing this May. People know and appreciate the work they put in before they were booted out on national issues (even then it was by a small-ish margin). If the Labour candidate wins, he or she will take the Labour whip on the council. That means they won't be able to stand up for local residents. Remember Gideon Bull? Another Labour councillor won't change anything. There isn't a single opposition anywhere in this constituency. With Labour in a 'Dutch Auction' with the Conservatives to be more split and out-of-touch, Chilcott about to publish his report into the Iraq War and the whole mess created following "Brexit", this election is wide open - and an opportunity for the Liberal Democrats to begin the local government fightback.

I would go along with that, but post the 2014 election the only local politicians I saw fighting for St Ann's Hospital were Anne Gray, Myself, David Bennie, Emine & Jenny Sutton, (and in the end Clive Carter at the planning committee.) HANSAH and 38 degrees were amazing, and I'm proud of their efforts to Fight to save our NHS hospital, it was their show.
Strange considering Nick Clegg and Norman Lambs position on mental health, though it doesn't seem to be filtering down, this could have been a legacy worth fighting for.

To be fair to them, it was - and is - a matter for the Trust, not the Council. Where was Lammy (his brother Carl you to chair it).

There's this spoke and hub crap, that's been peddled to reduce mental health capacity by a third across London. Northwick Park is another case in hand.
I've also heard the 'Spoke and Hub' term used to shut down children centres. Before that it was "well just keep the lights on," until there's more money.
Once a hundred thousand children were under the umbrella of Sure Start, I was pleased John Prescott mentioned it in Parliament. These centres gave us confidence that Harringay was the right place to make a home for our family, and many children have benefitted in Harringay and St Ann's.
We could have all said no go, and they would have had to do a rethink, instead the planning committee was a complete disappointment, this was decided in 2010 when the Whittington was called into question. If your ever in Melbourne go to Caulfield Hospital, it will change your mind about St Ann's . -

I've heard that point mentioned
