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...

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.

…or have the punters got this one right? There were suggestions yesterday that Labour “private polling” was showing that the by election may not be the foregone conclusion that it appears. I am always suspicious of anything that party machines allow to be leaked out - if they have such data then let the party publish [...]

Avoiding the question like a pro, Gordon must be so proud of her. Pity the feeling isn't mutual!

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 ground....

Dave's Part (Free subscription) | yesterday
One of the signifiers of this globalised age is that for a lot of Londoners involved in politics or the media, there are large chunks of Britain that have become far away places of which we know little. So, for instance, I have spent a fantastic weekend break at the Chicago blues festival and carried out a journalistic assignment in Cairo. But I have never been to Crewe, and have no knowledge of Nantwich,...

Of course David Miliband doesn't want Labour to lose the by-election. He’s loyal to the Leader, as a serious leadership challenger hard-working Minister with his party's and the country's interests at heart. Yet he probably has more reason than most for wanting to see Gwenyth’s daughter keep the seat - for seeing Gordon's display of deck-chair [...]

... read the newspapers and they see the shenanigans which the Labour Party are pulling in Crewe and Nantwich is going to turn voters off, which is exactly the opposite of what we want to do. I'm happy to say that at least my party seem to be rising above it all and actually getting on with the serious business of offering a choice between themselves and Labour, and are going about it in the...

The tables for ICM's poll in Crewe and Nantwich are now available on their website, and they reveal some brand new changes to ICM's methodology which I’ll look at in the next post. First though, let's dig through the entrails of the Crewe and Nantwich findings. The narrowness of the 4% was indeed largely down to [...]

Cllr Iain Lindley's Diary (Free subscription) | 05/13/2008
I wrote on Sunday night about the disgusting content of Labour’s election literature in the Crewe & Nantwich by-election. Labour have made a big issue of Conservative candidate Edward Timpson's house, and even took a paparazzi-style photo of it to feature in their election literature. I thought I’d do a little more digging and here [...]

As my maternal grandmother was from Nantwich and my grandfather from Crewe, the upcoming by-election is in familiar territory. The media is setting the Conservatives up for a fall by talking up their chances. Unless the world has changed more...

Jules Hornbrook who blogs at Crewe.tv is also popping some thoughts on the Guardian Politics Blog. Having spent a good amount of time with each of the three candidates he is finding that (a) Lib Dem Elizabeth should not be underestimated, (b) Tory ET is finding it hard to find anyone to talk with, and (c) Tamsin is a chip off the old block. He therefore disagrees with ICM for the moment . LoL site...
