Across Offa's Dyke again...

Sunday morning was another of those rather lovely spring days when the idea of being outside seems pretty attractive, so I was pleased to be off to Malvern to do a spot of canvassing.

West Worcestershire is a seat where we've been knocking on the door for a while now, and Richard Burt was in confident mood when we arrived. Stopping only to grab a cup of tea, we were off, accompanied by one of our most recent recruits, Edward Macmillan-Scott, an MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, who left the Conservative Party last year. The only catch with having good weather is that everyone else wants to be out too, but we did meet some supporters and it was certainly a worthwhile exercise.

I took the opportunity to talk to Edward about the way in which his former Party selected its European candidates - there was considerable disquiet amongst Conservative activists last time - and he was very interesting on the subject.

But all too soon, it was time to head off again...
