I was about to go to bed last night when news started to filter through about shots being fired at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The initial pictures showing a bleeding Donald Trump being taken from the stage by the Secret Service agents who had courageously got between him and the bullets that were being sent his way were incredibly disturbing. Thankfully, he was ok, though he is bound to be shocked but two people died and two people are, at the time of writing, critically ill.

We are now half way through the election campaign and most of us will be feeling a bit knackered. Elections are a bit like the Tour De France. A massive daily effort with actual and metaphorical daily climbs and sprint finishes. We thought we’d take a minute to appreciate the key people in the election in a series of posts which will hopefully sustain us through to polling day. Up today are the election agents.

There were a couple of great results in this week’s local government by-elections. In the Four Marks and Medstead ward of East Hampshire District Council, Roland Richardson held on to the seat with 62.2% of the vote! Thanks to ALDC for compiling the results. Also in Hampshire, Caroline Smith-Wright held the Tring West and Rural ward on Dacorum District Council with an even greater vote share.

Christine Jardine was on Any Questions last night along with Ann Widdecombe (representing the Reform Party), Thangam Debonnaire and Sir Robert Buckland. She travelled to Bridgwater in Somerset. The first question was on whether we should have closer relations with the EU, following this week’s news from Northern Ireland and the fourth anniversary of Brexit. Christine said that Northern Ireland is a very special case and we should welcome this week’s agreement as a starting point.
