With at least one poll putting the Tories ahead, the fight for Crewe and Nantwich has got dirty. Labour activists have criticised a leaflet put out by their own party which shows a picture of Timpson and the statement: “Do you oppose making foreign nationals carry an ID card?”
Foreign nationals will receive ID cards this year and British citizens next year but the leaflet has been condemned for its far-right tone and suggestion the Tories are “soft” on immigrants. Is it a sign of the increasingly partisan campaign or desperation that Tamsin is unrepentant? “I don’t think it sounds BNPish,” she says. “I’m not apologising for the tone of it. Do the Tories support or oppose it? It’s time they came clean – what policies have we had out of the boy’s [Timpson's] mouth?”
