UKYP

No - not a typo but some representatives from the UK Youth Parliament came to join in part of our Shadow Cabinet meeting today. Apparently a first for any political party but probably not surprising as we are smaller and have few hang ups about these things.
Very impressed with both Paul Dwyer (billed as the "young Charles Kennedy" - and was promptly challenged by some wag as to whether he was pregnant too) and Hannah Hedges who is our youngest parliamentary candidate.
What I particularly liked about them was that they were very relaxed about devolution and MYPs from each area were actively pursuing their priority policies.
