Our campaign team in Crewe and Nantwich is telling us that Labour are "hiding" their leaflets from journalists! Reporters are repeatedly asking our campaign team for copies of Labour leaflets. Labour are, it seems, very aware that their class-based campaigning...

Thank God I didn't get the train to Crewe. The whole line was shut for much of the day. Anyway, I arrived mid afternoon, just ahead of David Cameron who made his third visit to the constituency today. The number of volunteers in the Campaign Centre has to be seen to be believed. I caught a few words with the candidate, Edward Timpson who seems to be bearing up well under the strain. I wouldn't...

Earlier today I went with a couple of Birmingham Councillors up to Crewe and Nantwich to help in the by-election there. Elizabeth Shenton is the Liberal Democrat candidate and seems to have a good campaign.... Tory quitter changes his mind...

Anarchists rarely pay attention to by-elections becuse their heads are always involved with anarcho-things like G8s and Winter Moots but the current Crewe by-election is very interesting indeed. First of all the Labour candidate is against the hereditary principle except in her own case -inheriting seat from her mother and her grandfather’s Labour aristocracy lineage. [...]

To Crewe, then, for the biggest day yet in the great by-election battle. David Cameron is coming. Nick Clegg is also coming. And Labour? Well, er, someone said something about Hilary Benn. Yes, you know, Tony Benn's son. Yes, him!

Not only will I be in Crewe & Nantwich on Saturday, but I will be staying at the Ramada Hotel on Saturday evening so I can do some more work on Sunday. If anyone wants to meet up with me, drop me an e-mail.

Spent yesterday in Crewe helping with the by election campaign. Another day of great weather - to the extent that the HQ was offering sun tan lotion before we went out. A very efficient operation - hardly any waiting, jobs given out straight away.

The most amazing thing about the Crewe and Nantwich by-election is the sheer amount of column inches it has generated in the national press. As a by-election veteran (I confess, I haven't gone to this one), I’m used to fighting the great fight in eminently winnable seats (which of course, we went on to [...]

The first by-election I ever campaigned in took place 25 years ago in Darlington. Several of us from UEA spent a couple of days campaigning for Michael Fallon, who just lost out to Labour's Ossie O'Brien. Fallon, however, had the last laugh as he won the seat three months later in the 1983 Thatcher landslide. The reason I mention this is because Crewe and Nantwich is in some ways similar to...

The media circus had several Crewe options today, but delayed trains from down south caused scheduling chaos! I grabbed time after lunch to nip over to Bombardier ( Crewe Works ) where Lib Dem candidate Elizabeth Shenton was joined ( for the second time ) by party leader Nick Clegg. As you can see, there was a fair old pack awaiting the campaign team, inc a persistent chap from Newsnight....

Today I've been up to Crewe to help campaign for the Crewe and Nantwich by-election which will be held on Thursday May 22nd. The Conservative candidate Edward Timpson is a local Cheshire man, who lives very close to the constituency and whose three children were all born at a local hospital. He was selected last summer and has been campaigning on the closure of local Post Offices in his...

Later on tomorrow I shall be heading up the M1 and M6 towards Crewe, ready for a day's filming for my new (still unnamed) Telegraph TV programme. However, I want to get there in good time tomorrow to do a bit of campaigning myself and sniff the electoral air. Virtually every Conservative I run into has just been there or is about to go, so there can be no complaints about a lack of troops on...

The pivotal Crewe and Nantwich by-election has attracted many candidates in addition to Labour's Tamsin Dunwoody, the Tories' Edward Timpson, and Elizabeth Shenton, who is running for the Lib Dems.
