Liberal England goes to New York

Exciting news. In a couple of weeks' time I shall be in New York blogging from the United Nations High-level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals - or MDG Summit.

I shall be part of a party of a group of bloggers put together by Oxfam. The charity wanted to have one person from each major British party, but it did not quite work out like that. As far as I know, my fellow bloggers in New York will be:

• Rowan Davies - Mumsnet
• Laurie Penny - Penny Red
• Rosebell Kagumire - Rosebell's Blog
• Geetika Kumar Gupta - Feminist Approach to Technology
• Nkunda Rwanda - The Cry for Freedom in Rwanda

It promises to be a great learning experience. I am not sure that quirky stories from Shropshire are going to cut it in this company.
