We had Edwina down last year for a Curry with Currie where she made a brilliant speech, and she very kindly came down for a whole day to canvass with us around the city including a spell in Palmerston Road and Commercial Road. It was great being out with a celebrity who everyone recognises and I was full of admiration for her stamina. She arrived at 10am and was still running around at 6pm. I had no idea that she is a Charles Dickens enthusiast so while we canvassed, we allowed her 15 minutes in the museum. As she pointed out, it would be good for Portsmouth to have two fine women as MP’s.
