By-election update
I have had another busy week out campaigning for the by-election in Heworth Without. Last night we had a fantastic turnout of supporters helping deliver our main leaflet which allowed myself and a few others to carry on canvassing for Conservative supporters. I called on one farm towards the end of the night which had diversified into marquee’s, on chatting to one of the owners we both quickly realised that they had actually provided the marquee for my wedding some five years ago now, surprising who you catch up with when you are out canvassing.![]()
The by-election will be contested next week on Thursday 6th of September so not long to go now, I will keep all readers informed of our progress.
Another great win for Leeds United today, now only minus three points.
As readers will soon realise I am a big Leeds United fan.

A really excellent maiden post Julian. Well done - although I think your choice of football teams is a bit dubious
Good to see you canvassing so hard, its a good way to get supporters….. but admiting to suporting Leeds United will drive them away
Julian, your post looks great and I know how you value the input from all your supporters. This grassworks work is crucial to any campaign, the more people you can meet face to face the better. I know you have a great team behind you.
Thanks Geoff for all your hard work with this excellent blog, and to Sally for her support.
I saw Man U and Tottenham last weekend, btw, with three men in my house, I cannot ignore football.
Thanks everyone for your support.
