Tories Beat Labour Across Greater Manchester

David Ottewell has published an interesting article about Greater Manchester-wide vote shares in today’s Manchester Evening News. It’s also available in handy bar-chart form on his blog.

Rather makes a mockery of the Labour and Liberal Democrat spin about Conservative performance in the north and Greater Manchester in particular.

Crewe & Nantwich

I made a flying visit to Crewe yesterday evening to support our excellent local by-election candidate Edward Timpson, who I’ve just noticed has a blog on the Crewe & Nantwich Conservative website.

Morale is high and the campaign seems to be exceptionally well organised. I’ll be back in Cheshire later this week - not today unfortunately as I have commitments here - and I’d urge all Conservatives reading this post to do just the same!
