Paul Geater spent his weekend covering David Miliband’s visit. He discusses which candidate is being supported. No real surprises apart from David Ellesmere “leaning” towards David Miliband. I suppose the odd looking kids have to stick together, although he did have some choice. Ellesmere, unlike his rather nice parents, exemplifies the “no one likes us” politics of Ipswich Labour that has lost them control of the council, so if Balls can’t attract him then who can he get? Sadly for the Tories Balls looks like he’s dead in the water (I spent some of the Maidenhall fun day trying to persuade Jim Powell of Ed Ball’s merits).
Otherwise its Sandy Martin supporting Ed Miliband, who’s appealing to the hopeless lefties and somehow attracted Sandy, and Adam Leeder … who cares? Already known people are Mama Rudkin (David M), Chris Mole (Balls) and John Cook (Balls – but not interviewed).
I usually ask questions that I know the answer to, but did Paul Geater cover David Cameron’s visit to the North Ipswich lot when he was the front runner for leadership? I genuinely don’t know, but if he found that uninteresting on a week day but Miliband interesting enough for a weekend, well…
EDIT: I’ve also got to point out that Ben Gummer is also endorsing David Miliband
