Panther(Cons) & Owl (Libs)
"I passed by his garden, and marked, with one eye,
How the Owl and the Panther were sharing a pie:
The Panther took pie-crust, and gravy, and meat,
While the Owl had the dish as its share of the treat.
When the pie was all finished, the Owl, as a boon,
Was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon:
While the Panther received knife and fork with a growl,
And concluded the banquet by [eating the owl.]
At yesterday's Salford City Council Cllr Bill Hinds quoted this part of a poem by Lewis Carroll in relation to the Liberal Democrats proping up a Conservative Government.
The Liberal Democrats have sold their soul and will suffer the consequences for years to come.

NEW METRO BUS SERVICE FOR LANGWORTHY
I'm pleased to see the announcement below from THE GREATER MANCHESTER INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY.
• A decision about the funding of a Shuttle Service between Salford Crescent, Salford University, Salford Shopping Centre and Salford Quays has been announced. Funding for £382,100 will be available over the next three years. The bid was supported by Salford City Council. It is hoped to start in the New Year and eco-friendly buses will be used. The operator has yet to be chosen.

Langworthy Result.
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to the people of Langworthy who made the effort and came out and voted for me. I really really appreciate it and will continue to represent and work hard for you and the Ward of Langworthy along with my fellow Labour Councillor,Gina Loveday.
Commiserations to my closest contender Lib Dem Steve Middleton who fought a fair election campaign and must be distraught after the Lib Dems lost out locally and nationally.
I know it isn't going to be an easy four year term as the national government will target local authorities for cuts etc. There are going to have to be some very hard decisions taken, which as a councillor you have to do and I know that some decisions are very emotive that some people oppose.
I am proud and privileged to be able to serve the city of my birth, the city I love. I again thank those voters in Langworthy for making it possible.

SALFORD LABOUR VICTORIOUS.
Result Board for Langworthy Ward and me with John Merry after we'd both just won in Langworthy & Broughton wards.
The Labour Party in Salford had great results across the city showing that the good citizens of Salford trust us to continue to work hard on their behalf.

Brown challenges Tory budget plans
Sunday 02 May 2010by Paddy McGuffin
Labour have warned that Tory budget proposals would shrink the economy by £6 billion and lead to thousands of job losses if the party was elected.
The warning came as the major parties rallied for a final push in the run-up to Thursday's poll.
Tory leader David Cameron claimed that if elected he would call an emergency budget which he said would "slash bureaucracy" and reform public services.
He also pledged to introduce a "war Cabinet" to address the issue of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and introduce Bills to allow the first new-style "free schools"- a central plank of the party's education manifesto - to open as early as September.
Teaching unions have warned that Tory education plans are "a patchwork of policies, littered with contradictions and hopelessly out of touch with public opinion."
Mr Cameron also proposed a "Great Repeal Bill" to dismantle what he called Labour's "Big Brother" legislation.
Gordon Brown hit back by urging voters to look closely at Tory policies and the party's plan for an emergency budget that would "shrink the economy by £6bn."
This would mean the loss of "thousands of teachers and thousands of policemen and thousands of other people serving our community," he warned.
Mr Brown said the big issues were "who is best for the health service, who is best for our schools, who is best for our communities and policing, who is best for jobs and the recovery."
He added: "Get the big decisions right about this country and we can have prosperity and justice for all.
"But get the big decisions wrong, as the Conservatives and Liberals would do, and we face more jobs lost, more businesses lost."
He also derided the policies and personality of Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, saying: "We're talking about the future of our country. We're not talking about who's going to be the next presenter of a TV game show."
Mr Brown described Lib Dem policies on immigration and tax as looking like they were written "on the back of an envelope."
For his part, Mr Clegg said the Labour Party was in "existential crisis" and questioned its continued relevance.
