Back to work on the political trail

It's been a wonderful day of sunshine, canvassing and media interviews in Henley today - so back to work on the political trail. Sunday had been a good chance to catch up with things musical and to rehearse a
choir made up of people from villages across the northern part of the constituency.

Today, we started off canvassing with William Hague before William did a live interview with the BBC News Channel who had their correspondent James Landale based in the Market Place all day. It's always great campaigning with William as he gets such a good reaction wherever he goes and today was certainly no exception.

After William's interview it was more canvassing before a visit to the Sacred Heart Primary School where they seem to be raising a few budding Jeremy Paxmans. It was great to see children of 8 and 9 take an interest in politics and ask well thought out questions about policy.

After lunch it was time for the first head to head TV appearance I have had in this campaign with the Labour and Lib Dem candidates. Sadly we only had time for James Landale to ask us two questions each so it wasn't possible to get to the bottom of why the Libs have been so negative in this campaign. We're all on BBC Berkshire tomorrow for an
hour so I hope we'll find out then - as well as when Stephen Kearney is planning on moving back to Plymouth!

George Osborne then arrived for what I think is his third visit in as many weeks. We went to the Chiltern Centre for Disabled Children and had an enjoyable time seeing some of the amazing work that is done with the disabled children.

I've just finished another canvassing house meeting in Watlington and am looking forward to another busy day tomorrow.
