Kitchens and their sinks seem to be much in the news this week. First of all a national debate breaks out about how many kitchens Ed Miliband has in his house. It’s certainly more than one, but is it two or three?

Now David Cameron has allowed himself to be wrong-footed giving an interview in one of his kitchens (or is it his only one?), and has let slip that he doesn’t intend to stand for a third term of office.

Here in Chipping Bonhunt the drama isn’t taking place round the kitchen sink (although we do have a very nice one in the Town Hall). No, it’s all about the battle between the current Conservative administration and the new residents’ party, with the other political parties vying to make their mark as well. It will be fascinating to see what happens in the Council elections on Thursday 6th May, and I hope the electorate decide who to support for our government on more serious factors than the number of kitchens they have!
