Kathryn Smith was, apparently, returning home after a day’s campaigning here in Gravesham. We can only speculate how bad the canvassing returns were!
Labour lost Gravesham in 2005, their MP having been almost invisible since first winning the seat in 1997. I’ve received Labour’s election address (the same week the election was called!) and a target letter trying to convince me that Labour shares my values. I’ve had nothing from Labour, nor from the Tories, in the last two weeks. You wouldn’t believe this is a marginal with only a 1.5% majority.
