"Vote Labour Today, Vote Tony Lloyd, Your Manchester Labour Candidate .. is Tony Lloyd
The above is what three hours of evolution did to the original statement :
"Vote Labour Today, Vote Tony Lloyd, The Manchester Labour Candidate"
Already good and clear. Gets better and clearer. We begin in Newton Heath, where the BNP often stand, though not this year, winding round half a dozen estates.
It's not landslide weather in the psephological sense. More the sort of constant drizzle that triggers the geomorphological type. And Newton Heath is a tough audience to start with. Mostly hiding in their houses. Some heckling. A few flicking the bird. But probably just as many with thumbs up and smiles.
Our first estate is toughest of the tough though. With a few mud balls coming in at the windscreen and passenger window on the way in. And the same delightful youths adding more on the way out. I'm proud to say the deliberate mantra continues unabated.
And so on and so forth past the dissenters entrance down to the Cemetary. Through Miles Platting, including the close where Tony Lloyd's agent lives. Then back North a bit round the ASDA superstore roundabout twice. On past the Velodrome and Philips Park. To Clayton Vale. Parts of Ancoats where we meet Jim, Jim and Mick who advise us to clear the mud completely before we head for Openshaw.
Quickly done. Past Clayton Hall. Along Clayton Lane. Me directing as the noble Lord has little idea of the geography. Keep left. Left and left again. He wants to head right. That'll be the blue blood. But we get there in the end. Louisa Street, Toxteth Street and so on and so forth.
These estates are much improved and more work is going on. But not as tidy as those in Bury North, or Moss Side for that matter. The terraces in Openshaw include a lot of voids. Ready for selective clearances I guess. There are quite creative PFIs going on around here. But that's a long story.
Back towards the city centre. Ardwick and Hulme get a quick blast and then we check in at Gaye's the Moss Side HQ. We've got half an hour more. Where does she want us? It has to be the Alex Park estate which returns 80 and 90% promises.
We head off and cheer up Claire, Alistair and Ayshan and they us. They demand music or toasting. I stick to the script.
The mobile rings. The sub agent for Halley Range wants reinforcements for the end of the kocking the vote out process.
