Brightoniana: Crescent House, Brighton postcard
A recent addition to my small but growing Brighton and Hove postcard collection is this. It says it’s the Crescent House Convalescent Home. Where was that it? Or is it there still?

Why did Labour lose?
FYI I’m a Labour activist and member. Here are a few reflections on the general election: Why did Labour lose? And we did lose. There was an increase in the Conservative vote. No point blaming the SNP either. 1) Ed wasn’t convincing enough to enough people. I grew to like him more than I did
