TQR 14,386 Posted June 19 Probably another Arron Banks job he's sharing. In other news, a poll commissioned by Carla Denyer's mum suggests the Greens are on course for a 500-seat majority. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,386 Posted June 19 Oh, and Craig Williams (Rishi No-mark's PPS who bet hundreds of pounds on a July election 3 days before it was announced) has gone and got his close protection officer arrested. The offcer is being looked at by the gambling commission and Williams himself is under investigation. (EFA; ADHD brain muddled me words up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not him who has been arrested. It’s a unnamed police officer who has been arrested. Craig Williams is his PPS who admited betting but is still in post and running for re electon in Wales. .

He is utterly disenchanted with the Conservatives but he's never struck me as a typical Reform candidate. I always wish him well in his endeavours and I actually think he would make a really good MP based on his various skill sets, but I declined his request to support his campaign on Facebook. Its the one big rule I have on Facebook, no politics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sod's Law 445 Posted June 19 Been noticing a sea of red placards in peoples gardens even in solidly Tory areas like Matlock and Buxton. Only the Labour candidate has even bothered sending me any campaign literature so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Shanks, Shanksy, Shanksy Boy, Shanksdabidozie - yeah the guy who won the by-election here for Labour has sent me his literature, but nobody else so far, though I still say it's early for that nonsense. I was going to email him to see if Labour would be repealing the Voter ID rules, but as I was about to do so, Starmer came on the tellybox saying they were going to review the rules. (Fucking wishy washy response in my view, just do it). Also, I have noted that the Labour manifesto doesn't contain any pledge to assassinate Norman Tebbit. (But if Sunak is right as on tax pledges, not ruling it out means that's precisely what they will do!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether a few of those candidates, used to a secure life in a safe Tory haven will unleash their frustration and fury within earshot of the press, is another question Very strange times indeed, eh?

That's a surprise- having lived in the High Peak - the area around Glossop is a known Labour stronghold but is certainly more blue as you head out to Whalley, Chapel en Le Frith and Buxton. Rishi was in Torridge yesterday- a 25k majority normally but clearly they're worried. Anyone under 20k is pretty well nailed on to go two weeks tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glossop feels like a colony of Manchester in Derbyshire so it makes sense in their case, but Buxton feels like a different world completely so seeing the red placards there was quite something. Doing a count in my own town, I counted ten Labour signs and one Reform UK. In Matlock it's a mix of Labour and Lib Dems. No Tory signs in sight anywhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,571 Posted June 20 The only place I have seen a Tory placard is on the A47 at the B6047 junction where there is one for Alicia Kearns (Rutland and Stamford) but there is a Reform one right next to it If the Tories lose Rutland then there is no point in it existing. I used to live in the old Rutland and Melton constituency but I think it ended up in Charnwood with the boundary changes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
