Just home after a massive weekend delivering and canvassing in Ponteland. There are 47 miles worth of roads in Pont / D Hall and the team of 12 councillors, activists and the very helpful felt every one! We delivered over 4500 leaflets and spoke to countless people on the doorstep
All this to a background of escalating strikes, a bizarre budget from the world of "never never land" and yet more Stephen Byers / Geoff Hoon disasters
Even Gordon would not be so stupid as to call a general election on the day of the 4 day rail strike would he?
