Politics Is An Emotional Business...

Reading List congratulates Reading LibDems after they won an award at their National Spring Conference being held in Harrogate this weeekend. They won the prize for the fastest-growing local party by increasing their membership by the greatest amount in the past year.



It is not known if this includes Reading's most famous daughter, Kate Winslet, who was recently awarded the Oscar for her role in The Reader.

The Independent reports that Ms Winslet has never revealed any political affiliations, while The Daily Mail attempts to provoke the actress into taking legal action over 'false endorsement' as a means to express non-support.

Oranjepan asks:
Does anyone know whether she has a postal vote?

Update: Reading 107fm quotes 'a party spokesman', who denies the LibDems are making any inferences about her personal views.
