Simon Hughes, ‘e’s still a raver!

News comes in from Ian Bone’s blog that Simon Hughes is still partying as hard as ever. Hughes is holding a celebration to commemorate the Lib Dem’s win over Peter Tatchell in the notorious Bermondsey by-election in 1983.

This is when the Lib Dems released a flyer dubbing the election ‘A Straight Choice’ whilst labour activists putting up posters in Tatchell’s support found their windows attacked. Tatchell himself received hate mail, including a live bullet, and was attacked when out in the street.

Tatchell has forgiven Hughes as exclusively revealed on this very blog, however it remains to be seen what he makes of this knees up.

Now out and proud, Hughes will be ‘avin it large with 24 hour party people, the Bermondsey & Old Southwark Liberal Democrats. Tickets are 20 quid off some bloke in Camden Market.

The event will take place at the Harris Academy in Bermondsey which is an all girls school. Given the way we’ve heard Hughes was putting it around in the 90’s that’s probably for the best.

the void played a small part in Hughe’s failed bid to become Lib Dem leader after we were contacted by someone who had the lowdown on Hughe’s nightlife … and it seems the partying ain’t stopping yet.
