Thanks to JoJo at 20six for plugging this blog on the front page (and my other PR Guru blog). I'm already trying to encourage some other MPs and councillors to start blogs on 20six. Just one so far, Karen Marshall who is a Labour councillor for Garforth and Swillington in Leeds.
Hopefully the article in tomorrow's LGC (Local Government Chronicle) magazine and The Guardian article will help. I think blogging could play a really important part in the way politicians communicate with people. I represent more than 16,000 voters so it would be impossible for me to meet them all, but this way at least gives people the opportunity to talk to me whenever they want.
Remember you can still see my old blog here.
