UK-elections-2007: Whalley Range the Final Countdown

Well, here I am in Manchester Town Hall, blogging live for the moment. Spent the last 90 minutes of the day in Whalley Range, my old stamping ground, and knocked up at least half a dozen of our voters who were planning to stop home.

A couple of them even beeped, wound windows down and confirmed that they'd done the deed. And they were pleased they had done.

Twenty minutes at the committee rooms. Onwards to town. Sainsburys. And a pint with former councillor John Byrne in the City Arms. Rusholme is interesting. Respect have worked the patch hard. The Lib Dems have worked only one large estate. And there is just a chance of a through the muddle gain if Respect take enough votes from the Libs.

Into the Town Hall. Corridor Pass first. Press Pass second. Into the Press Office and waiting for the first result.
