I'm campaigning to represent everyone here. In the last couple of days I've visited a mosque, two churches, a gurdwara and a Hindu temple used by people here. I've met lots of people, religious and not, all over the constituency.

I and the team were up at Oadby mosque yesterday - meeting worshippers and the Imam, and later also local muslims from businesses here.

It was great to meet members of the Sikh community last Sunday at Gurdwara Shri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Ji.

Now, more than ever, it's important that we all work for good relations between all the different faiths here.
