A late start meant I was able to watch Caroline Lucas on BBC News at 7.10am. Always enjoy national publicity, make me realise just how important Tv is electioneering .
I spent a fair bit of the day driving round the M25 listening to the radio, but for the first time this week I had the chance to talk the election with work colleagues who seemed to want to talk about the Green Poster above my desk.
Away from the election, Surrey enjoyed a decent day on the first day of Whitgift Festival, I wonder if it will last. Meanwhile having finished "The End of the Party" , my reading turns to "Tales of the Foothills" -Chris Mullins diary of life as a Labour MP. Having avoided British politics books I seem to be getting through them at a fair rate at the moment.
The fightback against Clegg is about to begin. The Tories try to sell the idea that a hung parliament would start a run on sterling. I've no great liking for Clegg, but so typical of the tories to spread the scare stories ahead of the second debate.
