I’m Back

Just returned from my six day husky sled across the north of Sweden and Finland.  Rather than bore you with too many details, look at Tania Branigan’s blog/podcast/slideshow HERE.  I am happy to report the following:

(a) I raised something in the region of £10,000 for Crimestoppers and the Oxfordshire Community Foundation

(b) It was hard work - freezing cold (minus 30 or thereabouts) and long treks of about 60 miles

(c) I was easily the most unpopular MP as I whinged all the way

(d) Tobias Ellwood was probably the most popular as he is ex-army and basically led us through

(e) No Lib-Con pact on the horizon - Nick Clegg ain’t budging

(f) best moment was when Emily Tornberry fell off the top of an igloo - but she is a wonderful lady who was cheerful throughout.

(g) I am never doing anything like this again.
