Blog Information

Phil Dilk's blogs are a mixture of national commentary and local issues - meaning he sometimes swings disconcertingly between 'Labour attack dog' and 'village fete'.

This is not to denigrate Mr Dilk's local musings as 'provincial' - as a matter of fact, the picture of local life conjured up in the blog was a real breath of fresh air here at politics.co.uk HQ.

However, with such lovely descriptions of local events, a few more pictures wouldn't go astray.
