Yes, very strange and a tad unfair, the Labour HQ bods seem to think it's a straight fight between Charlie and David. Clair is a decent person and doesn't deserve the crap she has been getting from her own side, notably Reg and Keef recently. Perhaps UKIP getting a plurality of the Aylesham vote in the euro elections was a factor. But Aylesham is just Aylesham, not the whole constituency.

That surprises me, Farage had the constituency down as a straight red/blue fight less than a year ago, my feeling is still that it will be a three way fight.

Then you will have no right to complain at the outcome, Vic. By the way the fish are all in good health.

One of the things that the reds will be campaigning on next May is the closure of Sure Start centres that Dave promised to protect. Just a matter that over 600 have been closed.

Good hear that M r Garstin.
As for voting its about trust and I do not trust any Party at this time so none get my vote.

I have never trusted the promises from any party but that does not stop me from voting, I just pick the party that hopefully lies the least.

Whenever you post these pictures up, Howard, I'm always reminded of the film "Don't look now" for some strange reason.

For what purpose?
Maybe it was to have a jolly with a paddle in the sea plus an ice cream on expenses.

I heard today that a rural resident opened the door to them yesterday, just a few seconds before a neighbour phoned to tell him "Don't answer, it's Claire!"
But they had a convivial chat.

The reds were out this morning campaigning on the theme of saving the NHS from privatisation.

NHS privatisation? No mention in FT or Economist? Where can I buy shares? Is it a better punt than

Rather surprisingly these photos were taken at Capel's farmers market today, Clair seems to get everywhere.
