Sources suggest Labour will be happy with the result in Holborn & St Pancras
The Midsummer Common fireworks will take place on Thursday 5 November this year, as is right and proper and much better than having it on a different date that happens to be a Saturday like last year. cambridge.gov.uk/news/2026/10...
The projection from UK Polling Report for the Cambridge parliamentary seat has the Lib Dems overtaking the Greens and moving up to second place after a year in third. Daniel Zeichner retains a comfortable lead for Labour. pollingreport.uk/seats/E14001...
The Lib Dems are not happy about Labour's motion on SEND, with a press release "accusing Labour of trying to rewrite history on a service they oversaw until last year, while their own Government continues to hold Cambridgeshire’s children back".

I'm sure you will be pleased to hear that the newly-constituted University of Cambridge Greens society is holding a regular event called Wine and Wokeness.
The dulcet tones of Julian Clover drifting across north Cambridge from what must be a really quite impressive sound system on Midsummer Common for the Cambridge 10k. Good luck to everyone running!
Signs of life from Your Party, who deliver a leaflet to me announcing a Cambridge Community Assembly tomorrow afternoon.

Personally I think there's a lot to be said for a 200 word limit for petitions. And council motions. And speeches in the chamber. Off to the radio studio now to record Cambs Politics, no doubt saying a lot more than 200 words...
I wonder how many of those 1,902 people read the whole of this very overlong and rambling petition before signing it?
Comments from the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation on the latest Local Plan. They mostly approve of it, but they want the plans for building on the airport beefed up. thecgc.org.uk/files/Greate...
Mind you, I can't help thinking that we could do with some live balaclava recognition technology. Here are the results of similar deployments in Peterborough earlier this year - 56,534 faces scanned, 10 alerts, 4 "arrests/disposals"
Cambridgeshire constabulary will be deploying live facial recognition technology in Cambridge city centre tomorrow (Friday), so if the rozzers are looking for you, best stay away. www.cambs.police.uk/police-force...
