SEAGULLS! SEAGULLS!

Back on the Prescott Express again - and we're getting plenty of media bids to come on board. Thought the offer of Will Self from the Today programme was a joke. Amazed when they said it was true.

But space is tight so we've had to politely decline. That and the fact we don't have a toilet on board.

Today the Prescott Express visited the new £90m Falmer Stadium which will be the home for Brighton and Hove Albion from August 2011. I originally gave planning permission after a great campaign by the Seagulls to persuade me. It was never nasty - always humorous  - with the fans even sending flowers to Pauline and me on Valentines Day.

Martin Perry, the club's brilliant Chief Executive, said fans come down at the weekend just to gaze at the site. One man brings his own step ladder.

The Lib Dems bitterely opposed it, chief amongst them 'Smilin' Norman Baker. I see he's grudgingly admitted defeat and wished the fans the best.

I know from seeing the KC built in Hull how it can transform a city, bring in investment and foster a fantastic community spirit. That's why I'm delighted to see Brighton will reap the same benefits from Falmer.

But it made me think. Under Cameron's DIY government proposals, nimbys like Norman would have a much greater say and would have been able to stop this application stone dead right at the start.

Another good reason to keep Cameron out.

Finally, here's a little vlog with me and our excellent PPCs, Simon Burgess (Brighton Kemptown) Nancy Platts (Brighton Pavillion) and Celia Barlow (Brighton and Hove.)
