I spent yesterday helping out in the by-election with my brother Mike who was a key member of my campaign team in Nuneaton and will be doing the same again whenever the general election is called. In addition to helping Edward Timpson win, we were keen to see new ideas that havebeen introduced into the party's campaigning. We saw a very slick operation with some superb literature prepared for different groups. We delivered a fair chunk of it in Nantwich, which we found to be a really pleasant market town, before joining Edward and his team for canvassing while accompanied by a couple of national newspaper reporters. There was an excellent response on the doorstep and despite a tough majority to overcome and a great deal of sympathy for the family of a well respected former MP whose daughter has been chosen as the Labour candidate, I am pretty certain Edward will be the first of a new batch of Conservative MPs over the next couple of years.
