By-election

My office is in Eastleigh, which is currently over-run with journalists, politicians and their advisers. It's not possible to walk along the pavement without being handed leaflets or shouted at through a megaphone.

The recently closed-down Julian Graves store has been taken over by Ukip.

The by-election takes place in a couple of weeks so it will all be over soon. On the train home there were several campaign team members looking tired and relieved to be heading back to London.
