After George Osborne's outstanding attack on Alistair Darling's Pre-Budget Report this afternoon, it was time to get the party's message out to the wider public.
And playing a key role in doing this this evening were legions of tax bombshell T-shirt-wearing Conservative Future members, who handed out tens of thousands of leaflets between them at railway stations up and down the country.
Most of the big London termini were covered, as were Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Liverpool. I hear these hit squads - and the literature - have been extremely well received and that the party will be repeating the exercise at various points in the future.

A good effort, it's vital that we debunk Labour's latest lie before it takes hold - though the TV media appears to be doing that for us
Tomorrow morning's front pages will be illuminating as to how the PBR plays nationally though

Well done team.

Talking of hitting the streets, word hits me that Melanie Hampton has been selected for Mitcham and Morden - top campaigner by all accounts, and will work tirelessly to try to overcome a seemingly insurmountable 10,000 majority: definitely the right gal for the job.

Good night out at Liverpool's Lime Street and Central stations.
The literature was excellent and went down really well!

We might not get the coverage, but it was fun and an immediate response was certainly the best course of action!

Nice work guys!
I just don't think this stimulus will work at all, the first indications of Labour's failings will be very poor retail sales figures at Christmas.
