Day Twenty One, Grimsby

The night before we had fish and chips at Steels in Cleethorpes. Back in Grimsby in the hotel bar an alcoholic fisherman's behaviour slowly deteriorated.

At the visit the following morning I assumed Keir's mind would be elsewhere ahead of the debate, so prepped Louise Haigh, Shadow Transport Secretary, to say our line on potholes. We then went to a round-table at the football club and had a really in-depth chat about the lives of some local attendees for an hour and half. I filmed it just in case, but it was mainly just for him as debate prep.

Sadly the edit for the mechanic never went out. It was a lacklustre ten minutes of looking at some cars, so I didn't mind too much. I tried to put some life into it that afternoon after the shoots were done while making my way to Manchester, but by 18:00 the team had switched to debate mode too.
