People all over Salford are telling me they are leaving Labour and getting behind David Henry! He seems to be uniting the left against the failures of New Labour and the right like no-one could ever have imagined.
What a fantastic success, I never could have imagined this is where the Hazel Must Go campaign could have ended up!
VOTE HENRY.
