I spent the day in Crewe & Nantwich on Monday, out and about on the doorstep supporting Edward Timpson. In recent posts about the local elections here in Yorkshire I have talked about my experiences of meeting people who may have traditionally voted Labour coming out with "got to get rid of this lot" leading to the surge that dismissed a number of long term local Labour stalwarts.
Same held true in Cheshire on Monday. True there are a lot of Dunwoody posters displayed in windows around the Town Centre but there are matching responses from the many people rooting for Edward who is a really great local candidate.
Factor in the Tory Toff hypocrisy from Labour criticising our candidates background which really rankled with a lot of the people that I met, the 10p issue, rising fuel and food costs, this governments dithering and Gordo the magnificent, then Crewe on the 22nd of May will be an interesting place.
Tomorrow is one of those weather vane moments, I think I will be staying up late tomorrow night.
UPDATE: Well what a result for Edward and the people of Crewe and Nantwich and the repercussions go on and on!
