I’M WRITING this on the one day off in my two-week Kick Out The Tories tour, which started in Norwich a week last Thursday and ends with an election-night party at my lovely local Duke of Wellington in Shoreham next Thursday.
I only started planning it three weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the response — I have 13 gigs and was offered double that number.
It was inspired by the amazing, dedicated canvassers of my local CLP, East Worthing and Shoreham, just one bunch in thousands of you all over the country giving everything to get a Labour government elected.
It’s my tribute to you all — I’m playing for expenses only, raising funds and, I hope, raising spirits.
I’m not the best canvasser in the world. Confronted with the inane parroting of right-wing tabloid editorials by modern day Ragged Trousered Philanthropists I can wax sarcastic and, confronted with abuse, I invariably respond in kind.
