Campaigning in Vauxhall

I made it from Warrington to Vauxhall yesterday to continue campaigning with Kate Hoey and the team.  We covered a lot of ground in the constituency and Kate had a good response on the doorstep.

The final few days of a campaign have a different feel about them.  They are a lot about encouraging supporters to vote on the day, with a last few sessions of voter id. 

Meanwhile, Gordon Brown gave a powerful speech today to Citizens UK in London.  He spoke with a real passion about what motivates him in politics and on the issues that matter.  Watching it, you get a real sense that this is what the election should be about - arguing the case with passion.  There is no scope for this in the TV debates, which didn't cover any subject in much detail.

I enjoyed Labour's latest video - a light-hearted (with a serious point) look at what life would be like under Cameron's 'Big Society' government if the Conservatives win on Thursday.
