A very positive canvass last Sunday with Heather and a great team of activists. Simon was out with another group, joined by our Mayoral candidate, Forhad. Thelma was at the other two sessions. As always, it’s luck of the draw who opens the door, but everyone I spoke to during this street surgery was either strongly positive about Labour or undecided. No one expressed opposition, though a small number who didn’t want to engage may well have been less supportive.
One resident managed to lock himself out while trying to show me holes in his garden where he believed vermin were nesting. He’s in a Council-owned property, and when I rang the Council contact centre on his behalf, the call was answered very quickly. Fortunately, he was able to get back inside before a locksmith arrived.
What stood out across the session was a clear sense of strong Labour support and a very welcome rejection of far‑right politics. It was encouraging, but we can’t take anything for granted.
