9am – everyone arrives for the weekly campaign team meeting at my house. We all report to the campaign manager – what has happened in each of the wards we are looking after as to whether all the leaflets have got out, any problems, plans for the coming week etc.

Everyone then sweeps out to campaign. I spend a couple of hours organising for help to come in from across our activists in London to accomplish various tasks we have coming up in the last week – then head off to HQ.

Out canvassing in Hornsey ward – noticeable increase in people coming up to say that they are voting for me and us (generally switching from Labour). Lots of waves, smiles, hellos and good lucks – all good stuff at this point in the campaign. The sort of signs you hope for if there is to be a big swing.

Then go off to canvass Alexandra ward. We do some of the roads where passions have been running very high over traffic issues. So pleasantly surprised at just how positive the response is on the doorstep. Much still to do to sort out the traffic issues in the area though!
