Cameron and Osborne visit Bristol
David Cameron and George Osborne became the first of the political big beasts to visit Bristol during the General Election campaign, with the Prime Minister using a speech at the Bristol & Bath Science Park in Emersons Green to commit to lowering taxes and raising the personal tax-free allowance.
The excitement among the crowd was palpable:
