Blair joins the chase for Eddisbury
TONY Blair joins the fight to snatch Eddisbury from the Conservatives when he visits the constituency today (Wednesday).
The prime ministers intervention comes at a time when the issue between the two parties is finely balanced with the debate over hunting one of the key issues.
William Hague, the Conservative leader, said Labour had made hunting an issue because it wanted to “distract voters from its own failings”.
