´óÏó´«Ã½

Nominations for anyone wanting to be a general election candidate close today and I suspect that for one or two it might be a close-run thing. Michael Sparling's campaign to become the first-ever Labour MP for South East Cornwall only just made it to the starting line yesterday, as he sent his consent signature by fax from Hong Kong.

Michael is one of the thousands stranded overseas by Iceland's volcano and so will miss tonight's recording of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Cornwall's "Any Questions." We are now three programmes in to this six-constituency series and have yet to meet a Labour candidate.
