with Elphicke I guess they just thought overall an MP who was so vociferous about stopping the boats was quitting the Tories for Labour because the Tories couldn't stop the boats was an opportunity they couldn't turn down...optics and all that...but yeah for many in Labour this was a defection too far and in hindsight I'm not sure Labour would do it again, but then again maybe they would. The fact she is standing down does lessen the pain.
in the Park - as you walk in going up the hill the food concessions on the left hand side - 3rd stall down from the Park bar ( 2 down from tea and toast - 3 up from Leb Mezze)
I remember my first volunteering job was fire steward backstage at the Park in 2007 and my sole job was to try and keep the bloody fire going - cos it was so cold and wet . One night we were standing round the fire with Paul Kaye and Jarvis Cocker and they invited us all for a drink to celebrate someone in Pulp's birthday
