"You have the best ties"

Back to College Green for the launch of the London campaign. Almost all of our 50 London candidates were there, the highgest number of candidates we've ever stood in London. The staged photo is a line of candidates holding posters which spell out "Vote Green".

The Times photographer spends most of his time trying to catch people holding the letters in the wrong order or spelling out other words. He also takes a lot of pictures of my tie and tells me that we're much better sports than the other parties, whose media managers are constantly trying to stop him getting the pictures he wants of candidates relaxing between the staged shots.
