Last night, I went along to the Reebok Stadium in Bolton – along with another 1100 or so people – to listen to David Cameron talk to community and business representatives from across the region at an event hosted by Sajjad Karim MEP.
Later today, local residents across Greater Manchester get the chance to hear David Cameron answer questions about the economy in a debate hosted by the Manchester Evening News.
David Ottewell has previewed the visit here on his own blog and also in a piece for the Conservative Party’s own Blue Blog.
You can watch the debate live on Channel M from 12 noon and David’s MEN colleague Sarah Hartley will be live blogging from 11.30am.

No probs. Tell me i was wondering about who said your blog was a littel unsavoury. Its not me,i had a laugh when i had to agree to read the comments. God look with the graffiti removal.
Think how I must feel Joe; I have to write (and sometimes research) this stuff!
[What follows is humour]
Did you know Joe, that there was an emergency meeting of Salford City Council’s Labour Cabinet not long after the Carvath Blog started; according to my Labour Party mole, Mr. Miserable, the question regarding delegation of work was asked:
“Will somebody please volunteer to monitor Carvath’s Blog?”
At which point, every hand in the room went up, but then…
John Merry put his foot down, and declared in his tone of no-nonsense authority…
“I – will read the blog for us.” [ "And if I catch an unauthorised Labour URL on that blog, by billy-o there'll be hell to pay!" ]
Funny
Thing is Richard i could belive it.
