  1. Off to vote with my 18 year-old daughter in a few minutes. It's what Dads should do.
  2. Good luck message from Australia in my in-box this morning. This election result could be close.
  3. My Tory opponent, if he wins, has declared he intends to continue to work for his PR firm as well as being MP. Part-time MP for anyone?
  4. Lib Dem candidate in Worcester sent a sub yesterday afternoon; didn’t show last night and will be absent from this afternoon’s hustings.
  5. More relaxed start to today, after PM’s visit on Monday and Chancellor yesterday. Time to catch up on correspondence.
  6. My candidate declaration of interest now publicly posted on my website as part of the new, cleaner politics that is called for.
  7. Great visit with Lord Adonis today. Transport issues, door knocking and finishing off at Ambleside chippie.
  8. Nationally Tories want to cut £200m from Sure Start, 20% of the total budget. Local Tory “guarantees” – they are simply worthless.
  9. Channel 4 reports that there is a secret Tory cuts document, but they won’t publish it. I wonder why?
  10. Very useful meeting with H&W Chamber of Commerce, representing the views of businesses in the area.
  11. Tory canvasser overheard in Worcester commenting that “Friedland” is a common name “around here”!
  12. I see the OECD report today vindicates Labour’s recovery plans and attacks Tory proposal to slash public spending
  13. Well no surprise about the date then. If you want to help re-elect Mike Foster as Worcester’s MP, ring 01905 25676.
  14. Mrs D from Lower Wick strongly in favour of ring road completion. It’s a simple choice – I’m for it, my Tory opponent is against it.
  15. News from BT on superfast broadband for Worcester out tomorrow. If it is what I discussed with them, it will be good news.
  16. I read today that the pro-hunt lobby are backing the Tories in Worcester to bring about a return to fox, deer and hare hunting.
  17. The Tories want to bring back hunting but were too frightened to debate it on TV with me today. Says a great deal about character.
  18. Ex Labour voter tells me he’s voting Tory this time because he wants to see the NHS privatised. I’d rather lose his vote than the NHS!
  19. Tory cuts in Worcester reach new heights. The rat catcher is made redundant from the end of the month.
  20. 20 mins with Bill Clinton in Haiti, who said about DFID, "hey I love you guys".
