Over at the Guardian’s Comment Is Free website, LDV Co-Editor Stephen Tall poses the question, Where’s George?, and suggests the Tories have shunted the unpopular shadow chancellor into the sidings. Here’s an excerpt:
As the three major parties launched their respective campaigns yesterday, the omnipresent St Vince appeared to have been welded to Nick Clegg’s side, a perpetual reminder of the Lib Dems’ twin leadership ticket. Meanwhile, Gordon Brown surrounded himself with his entire cabinet, including Darling. … And where was George? Well, according to my spies, he was sighted at Luton airport, accompanied by one reporter.

We’ve been wondering the same. He made an appearance at PMQs – or we think he did based on a TV shot of his left shoulder. Before that it was Easyjet in Luton . . .
Updating here through the day if anyone has a tip off. Come and offer your suggestions

Yes, Osborne has visited Easyjet in Luton. But he wasn’t the only one.
