At last


After almost three years of dithering, indecision and trying to avoid the inevitable, this morning Gordon Brown was finally forced to call the General Election and to give the people of Keighley and Ilkley the chance to vote for change.

I have already been out and about in Keighley, in Silsden and in Ilkley handing out leaflets, hearing local concerns and shaking lots of hands.

But as someone who grew up in the constituency, who went to school here, who was educated here, who still works here and who has been the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate here since 2006, I believe I know what most local residents want.

And that is change.

There is a lot of hard work ahead between now and the close of polls at 10pm on Thursday 6 May.

But, with the support of my excellent campaign team, I cannot wait to get on with the job.
