Looks like some folks in Pendle have taken the Halloween theme pretty seriously this year – that Ken Barlow mask is the scariest one I’ve seen yet.

I was speaking to another supporter of Andy Stephenson over the weekend, who also appeared to have high hopes for him. Stop me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the Liberals second there at the last election? Of course, that’s not to say minibus of Salford Lib Dems won’t be going up to support the Tory candidate at your request!

Tom.
