Tweets from the campaign trail – the first major campaign Saturday of 2015

I’m going to get told off for that headline, I’m sure, because I expect most Liberal Democrat campaign teams were out campaigning last Saturday too. Anyway, I thought I’d share a few tweets to give a wee flavour of what our candidates have been up to today.

We have to start with Tom Brake. Can you believe he’s been running street stalls in Wallington since 1990? That’s 300 separate occasions.

Come wind or rain we’ve held a stall in #Wallington once a month for the last 25 years. pic.twitter.com/AsKvwrzWKs

Lynne Featherstone shows that Lib Dem MPs get results:

We’ve spent years campaigning for this! So glad we can now get 144 bus at the new, accessible stop in Muswell Hill pic.twitter.com/pTrsJGdSLE

The Cleggster was out and about in Sheffield.

Quick stop to refuel, then back out for more with @nick_clegg #LibDem pic.twitter.com/9bF6hsAsMS

And Christine Jardine wasn’t letting the snow stop her from socking it to Salmond in Gordon:

It was cold out canvassing today in #gordon but worth it #christine4Gordon

A warm reception on the doors, then.

Nobody was letting the seasonal weather put them off, especially not Tim Farron. It was quite appropriate that I’d been writing this morning’s article about him last night (I know how to live) while watching a programme about the excellent film Frozen.

@caronmlindsay sounds adapt to me as @timfarron & @rachworld and I were out in the freezing wind and hail this morning. Tim continued to pm.
