I reflect on the campaign in Pendle as it draws to a close.

I made it clear from the very start that if the anti Conservative vote splits then Andrew Stephenson will be Pendle’s MP on Friday morning.

This constituency is a super marginal where every single vote counts.

The Lib Dems have saddled themselves with a truly woeful candidate in Afzal Anwar. Even those who nominated him stay well clear.

He refuses to talk candidly about why he chooses to have his sons educated in Pakistan. Yet, if elected, he would be voting on education policy for England.

We live in a free country. It is open to him to explain to voters his preference for educating his sons in Pakistan. But, no, he chooses to dissemble.

A vote tomorrow for Afzal Anwar is a vote for the Conservatives.

They have lavished thousands on their three year long campaign to buy the seat.

All over Pendle, the advertising hoardings shout out the Conservative message. They are spending as if there is no tomorrow.

We read in the Independent today that the tax dodger, Michael Ashcroft, has given the Conservatives a further donation of £123,464, topping up the millions that he has already handed over.

But people around here are not fools.

I sense a growing reaction against the flood of Conservative leaflets, newspapers and surveys funded by a tax cheat.

People know that Labour has been outspent by the Conservatives. But we have not been outgunned.

We have a good story to tell.

And the promise of a more radical future.
