I’m looking forward to a big thank you event this Saturday in Cambridge. It’s being held at the home of one of our fantastic supporters.

A couple of hours of networking, a few words from me and a chance to meet our new MP candidate who will hopefully be selected on Friday. And a rare occurrence for political party events, it’s free.

It is important to say thank you to helpers particularly as we continue to build our delivery network across the city. The basics of political electioneering have not been our strongest point in recent years but we now understand the issues and are making real headway in putting in place the right teams for the job.

I’m taking my grandson, who is four, so let’s see what he makes of it. I’m hoping for chocolate biscuits or ice cream to keep him happy whilst granddad does his stuff.
