The Conservative team in Crewe and Nantwich are reporting that volunteer numbers for the C&N by-election have broken all records but that there is still work to do. If you can help in any way in these final 24 hours please email [email protected].
A few other observations:
- Betting on a Tory victory may have closed but Ladbrokes are speculating as to whether Labour might come third. Tories are dismissing this idea and saying that only a vote for Edward Timpson can send Gordon Brown the message he needs to hear.
- Journalists are already hearing excuses from inside the Labour camp in Crewe and Nantwich. Guess who they are blaming for the expected poor result? Yep: one James Gordon Brown.
- The local elections count in C&N on 1st May was slow and we're expecting it to be slow again. Don't expect a result until 3am on Friday morning. We'll be up, live blogging. Stay up with us! Please email if you can help moderate the live chatroom we're planning.
