News Statesman Article

Last night I was out meeting members in Weavers and Globe Town. Both branches are meeting this evening in order to decide who to nominate as a candidate. It will be really busy. I have to arrange for my supporters to be outside both meetings, arrange lifts for Party members, get more leaflets printed etc.

One member I talked to mentioned an article I wrote for the News Statesman in January and he suggested that I post a link to it.

Tahmima Anam debut novel “A Golden Age”.

On Friday evening I went with some of my campaign team to the Brady Arts Centre (Hanbury Street, E1) for the book launch of Tahmima Anam debut novel “A Golden Age”. It is set in Bangladesh during the horrors of the War of Liberation in the 1970's. I really look forward to reading her book (I will try, but probably not until after 28 April!). She is being hailed as the next Monica Ali. Check out her reviews (Observer, Guardian, Amazon). Her recent article in the “New Statesman” was outstanding.
