The needle moved as far as is possible in 2019 for a seat like Chester. The demographics are just not there for the Conservatives to win it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majority of 20,400 with the Lib Dems a distant spec in third place. So, obviously, no chance of an upset to rival Tiverton and Honiton, right? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11178213/Tory-MP-Andrew-Bridgen-ordered-1-5million-five-bed-family-home-800-000-costs.html S'cuse me quoting myself here but...Bridgen's in more trouble. Obviously, given the current poll ratings you suspect the Conservative Party won't be hungry for any de-selection/by-election action, but Bridgen appears unable to walk into a room without apparently doing something untoward. Is it just me or is there a tendancy for the most prominent Brexiteers to be unboundaried and, basically, twattish? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63498136 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QHov 5 Posted November 3, 2022 Notably, the committee has only recommended a suspension of 5 days which isn't long enough to trigger a recall petition or by-election on its own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
