I got an email late today from an LVT supporter saying that Nick Clegg had spoken about the role of LVT/SVR in enabling more affordable housing in a BBC panel discussion after the Queen's Speech today.

I've not been able to find it via the BBC website (it doesn't help not actually knowing what the program might have been - I'm guessing it was Daily Politics). So did anyone happen to see it and either point me to a "watch again" URL or explain what he said, specifically about LVT and housing. Because it would be quite significant since even LVT supporters in the higher echelons of the party have so far not been keen to discuss it as anything other than a taxation base and this could be the first time that someone has shown they understand it's got a whole greater relevance than that.

In the shadow of Crewe and Nantwich but much closer to home we have an Oxford City Council by-election. And we have the apparently imminent prospect of a by-election for Boris's Westminster seat of Henley. The Henley headquarters is now open for business in Thame and, in a departure for me (!), I have been to offer my help. I'm not doing that phone thing - I'm sorry, canvassing is traumatic enough for me when I can see the colour of the front door before I knock! But there is lots of delivery to do (or was when I was there mid-afternoon on Friday) and I've got a bundle to do in Benson over the weekend.

So if anyone in Oxford without transport wants to help before things get into full swing for the city council by-election, let me know and I can pick up more, drop you off at the HQ, take a (small!) gang out delivering or something.
