Rishi Sunak's northern 'Blue Wall' faces a major political stress test this week with a by-election in Blackpool and a mayoral vote in Tees Valley.
The two seats used to be solid Labour constituencies - part of the so-called Labour 'Red Wall' - until Boris Johnson persuaded them to vote Conservative.

This is the type of soft journaling ahoy allows characters like Boris and Ben to get away with it for years. The media are all too easily sucked into the showman side of the person but don’t delve into the character and substance of both men. Ben Houchen’s faces serious questions over corruption and cronyism at Teesworks and yet not a whisper about that in this report. Anyone who’s read Private Eye, the FT or the Yorkshire Post had read all about his murky dealings and yet the local/national papers and news barely mention it.

I am old enough to remember watching British television in 1968. At that point there was a lot of commentary, informed analysis and commentary from experts, as well as a lot of statistics. Now it is just vox pops, and “ask the punter what s/he thinks, especially the thickest punters we can find on the street.” Sad to see a country in decline.
