I was interviewed by the BBC for the West Midlands edition of the Politics Show last night on the Tories’ promise to abolish the Regional Development Agencies.
The interview was done in the Town Park at Telford. Good job we didn’t dress up as penguins!
The Politics Show will be aired at noon on Sunday.

No offense, but a bloke running a website isn’t going to change anything. And a few unattributed and as yet unproven comments from the Conservatives (you’ll no doubt agree that their policies on a lot of things are ‘blurred’). It was almost like it had been set up by AWM to make them look good.

October 13th, 2008 at 11:03 amYes, it was more like an advertisement for AWM than an objective report but let’s face it, Laverty has managed to land himself a taxpayer-funded job getting paid 6 or 7 times the average Birmingham wage running an unelected quango with £300m of taxpayers money every year - he must have the gift of the gab!
I intended to post a follow-up to co-incide with the Politics Show piece but technical problems prevented me from doing it so better late then never … We’d all be better off without AWM
