i am on the conservative campaign bus which had its launch event today and previously viewers have seen us aboard what we have been calling campaign buses and they may not have actually been the properly branded bus but we are now on that after it was unveiled in redcar earlier today and we are now heading back down south towards the capital and earlier the prime minister, rishi sunak, did get on the bus for it s kind of inauguraljourney as the campaign coach but he is not on it now so it is basically just reporters and journalists who have been tracking the prime minister and the conservative campaign over recent days and we have gone to a variety of places, sort of middle to late in the week, including buckinghamshire, and as i say, we went to redcar and we were in the north west yesterday as well and there have been a variety of announcements over those days and the one we had today, as you mentioned a moment ago, was this idea of kind of extending the levelling up fund to
