Tomorrow the fine people of Ealing and Southall prepare to go to the polls, all three leaders not just Ming will be put to the test. Lord Rennard apparently has predicted a recount; it seems to be open to any and all which is precisely what all the parties want you to believe.

Yesterday when I went I somehow managed to avoid Uxbridge road no mean feat in itself. Outside the commercial areas orange diamonds actually seem to be the leading trend rather than personality cult sized banners of Lit. Lit is by the way a classic Tory candidate, the local landowner which rumours state can and is threatening shop owners if they refuse a poster. He’s far from Cameron’s something new, actually I dare say Lit the multi millionaire heir will fill at home with all the old Eatonians. You would of thought Black would have been enough of a warning to Cameron about welcoming media moguls into the Conservative party.

Further a field the political betting blog for the second time I’ve seen suggests towards upset in Sedgefield.
