Lost and confused

Voters in Bradford South might be forgiven for being slightly confused by our Conservative opponent’s election leaflet. In it he refers to taking his campaign, “to the streets of Guisborough and Saltburn.” The team here at Gerry HQ have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the neighbourhoods and streets of Bradford South, so we were a little surprised that the Tory was campaigning in an area we had never heard of. A quick search on Google Maps reveals that Guisborough and Saltburn are in the constituency of Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, approximately 85 miles from Bradford South!!

Was his Satnav broken that day?

This all makes Labour’s poster (right) very literal in Bradford South. “If you’re there for the Tory in Bradford South, he won’t be there for you.” He’ll be in Middlesbrough!
