So of all the things you thought to do today it was signing up to Accyweb and posting something negative regarding Labour in the hotly-contested seat of Barnfield? I have just spoken to Graham who is currently canvassing Oswaldtwistle and he has asked me to post this statement for him:
'There are some concerns in Barnfield, there are an unusually large number of proxy voters. No one from the Labour party can understand this. We do not know any of the proxy voters personally and no one with connection to the Labour party has been asked to cast a proxy vote. A lot of people in Woodnook would appear to be proxy voting and many do not seem to have ever voted previously and we are looking further into this. We have received a list of who is casting a proxy vote and it appears that a majority of proxy votes are being cast by Conservative councillors, Conservative candidates, wives, friends and neighbours of Conservative associates and people apparently connected in some way to the Conservative party or the Conservative candidates. Again, we are trying to get exact numbers on this. We have been informed by the Chief Executive of the Council that the Conservatives are making allegations about Barnfield but no one seems to be able to fully comprehend what is being stated. No one from the Labour party has been approached by the police and I have emailed the Chief Inspector expressing concerns, who responded immediately and has indicated that after the election he and his staff will follow up on the points raised.'
On a nicer note, Graham is getting stopped on virtually every door and a lot of people have stated how nice it is to see their MP on their doorstep.
