Gong Hei Fat Choi

Happy Chinese New Year, year of the Metal Tiger.

We're off to Chinatown in Manchester for lunch later today for some dim sum. Yum Yum!

Another thing to commemorate today is the formal use of the term The Labour Party on this day in 1906 by MPs of the Labour Representation Committee.

An interesting footnote was the election of Keir Hardie, as Chairman of the PLP, by one vote over David Shackleton, "The Lancashire Giant".
