Well, what an eventful week it's been. The media circus has descended on Pudsey! I'm sure that many of you watching Look North this week will have noticed that our constituency has become the main focus of their election reporting, with a camera crew following me and my team around on a typical day out canvassing. It was a bit surreal at first, but after a while it was just business as usual and we barely even noticed that the cameras were around. Luckily, we got a great turnout of activists and a really positive response on the doorsteps, so hopefully the dedication of our team and the belief in what we're doing really came across on tv.

I'm sure many of you will also have seen my star turn on the local knowledge version of Mastermind this week. I think I did quite well actually. I was worried I'd get all my questions wrong, but somehow I managed to answer all my questions correctly. Mind you, I have spent most of the week having random questions shouted at me by members of my team, so it's to be expected that I picked up at least some knowledge. And of course, having lived here since I was a kid it would have been pretty embarassing if I hadn't picked up at least a little local knowledge!
