Into the West


A long day in the far west with campaigning visits to Haltwhistle, Greenhead, Gilsland, Long Byre and Blenkinsop with as many farms as we could squeeze in on the way
Campaign team growing by the day as well - we have the full cross section from 14 to late seventies!
This picture is taken in Blenkinsop - which is a beautiful village. Seen here in front of a house called Viagra Towers - which made us laugh a lot. Mind you it had been a long day. One man said "I have lived here in Long Byre for 48 years and noone has ever knocked on my door"
Real representation is what people want. Not sure this man will vote for me but we had a good chat
