Reports from Oldham...

As I posted earlier this week I've been campaigning over in Oldham. Tomorrow is the final day of the campaign with the polls opening early morning for the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election. The by-election was sparked after the expulsion of Labour's Phil Woolas from the constituency by the High Court, after being found guilty of deliberately lieing to the electorate during May's General Election with regards to Liberal Democrat candidate, Elwyn Watkins.

It's been a really good couple of days with the big, final push tomorrow. The result will certainly be close, and I can say one thing for certain, whatever the outcome it will go a long way to rubbish national polls that show Lib Dem support being very low.

You can find below a couple of screen shots (click to enlarge), taken from last night's Newsnight with me campaigning in the background. It's a 'blink and you miss it' kind of moment, but great to be in the thick of the campaign having met Elwyn Watkins several times before and Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, yesterday. The result will be a real close one and I hope the right one too.
