The Suburbs

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks, both on and off the field (as it were). We've been marching around the suburbs of Aberdeen and into Portlethen and Newtonhill door knocking. I've also been up into the wee hours preparing the campaign literature. I'd do another video blog if I didn't look like an exhausted zombie and scare the electorate off.

I was also excited this week to see Iain Gray launch Energy Scotland. I've written about the need for the north east to secure green energy jobs before, but with more co-ordinated and easier accessed government support than under the SNP, I'm confident Scottish Labour would make quicker progress.

And finally, yes the title is a reference to the Arcade Fire album which I picked up the other week. It's engrossing, and I'd thoroughly recommend it.
