There will be photos shortly but we did Croft Street, the new developments around Bruff Road and my old stomping ground of Rectory Road. Therese Coffey, the candidate for Suffolk Coastal came down to help and brought a number of canvassers with her. Thank you Therese. We also had a team out in Heatherhayes to say hello to the Lib Dems and another team phone canvassing (although not in Bridge).

It was great to see a number of posters being taken and even a leaflet deliverer being found.

The best response was from a Labour voter. “Are you voting for Gordon Brown?” “Not Gordon Brown! Labour!”

So until I get the photos, here’s one to boost our chances in Ipswich:
