Sunday: out canvassing in Wylam with my Labour colleagues. Obviously, we aim to target areas where we think we are most likely to receive support, but even then, the response on the doorsteps has been heartening. One of Labour's key questions is "What do the Tories stand for?" and the question is one which voters are now also starting to ask as the general election draws close. It's not good enough for Cameron's lot to say they're not Brown's lot - they need to explain what they stand for and what they will do in government, and so far they've got precious little to say other than (1) they will cut spending before the recovery has fully taken root [a very bad idea] (2) they will repeal the ban on fox-hunting [a reflection of rather odd legislative priorities].
