Description

Rob Whitehouse joins a group of Walsall Labour supporters travelling by coach to Darlington to campaign in the local by-election. At one point they sing The Red Flag: the unofficial anthem of the British Labour Party. Darlington is a key seat which the Conservatives are hoping to gain. On the coach Whitehouse talks to Brian Powell and Dave Church of the Walsall Labour group and vox pops several other travelling supporters. In Darlington he also talks to Harry Cowans Labour MP for Newcastle Central and we see the Walsall group talking to voters.
