If I was feeling generous ,had a lifetime of eating lead paint and liked her..I’d say she was being “economical with the actualité” but I’m not.

All of them hopefully. Unfortunately many of us live in parts of the UK where a sizeable number of people will vote conservative in order to avoid having a Labour government. So-called ‘tactical’ voting is proof democracy is failing, ‘first past the post’, without proportional voting, has been shown for decades now to be a failure democratically. As so many talent shows and TV programmes have shown being the most popular is rarely any indication of being the best. Democracy and meritocracy need to work together.

@tonymaries1652 11 месяцев назад

Labour has never won a seat in Somerset. The progressive urbanisation of the Bristol area has spread north and eastward to include places like Bradley Stoke, Yate and Mangotsfield. To the south it has not spread beyond Whitchurch because Dundry Hill is in the way. I am not sure of the northern boundary of Mogg's current seat but I guess the sudden transition from city to rural county at Whitchurch has helped him so far. However I believe his new seat extends north-eastwards and includes the former mining towns of Midsomer Norton and Radstock and possibly even Peasedown. Mogg will not find that many supporters there and I think the Liberal Democrats, rather than Labour, have a real chance of winning the seat. Mogg is not popular in the area because he is rarely seen out and about in public and is seen as distant and remote, and I rarely hear anybody have a good word for him. If the Lib Dems win the by-election in Frome it could precipitate a domino effect and ensure that they go on to take North East Somerset and Wells at the General Election.

@wulla2 11 месяцев назад

The constituency of Wansdyke, pre 2010, incorporated a significant part of the current NE Somerset, and was held by Labour’s Dan Norris from 1997 to 2010. Labour is still (just) in second place in Mogg’s patch. But I agree that the LibDems probably have the better chance of winning, because they are better placed to peel off reasonable Tories, and have amassed substantial local council strength. Mogg ought to be an easy enough target - just circulate photos of him lounging unconcerned on the HoC benches!

@@rustynail1194 I know people from Radstock as well - I live in Shepton Mallet. Moggy isn't even popular among card-carrying Tories from what I hear.

It is a bit odd to throw Penny Mordaunt in with ERG crowd of Johnson, Mogg, Truss etc. Mordaunt was made a minisiter by May and then removed by Johnson, while a brexiteer Mordaunt has always been outside the ERG crowd and distanced herself from them. In the Tory election she stood as the alternative to those ERG candidates. This seems to brand her as one of them. Portsmouth always was a Labour stroghold and she worked hard to win the seat. She is liked in the city. When (rather than if) the Rishi bubble bursts and all the Tories high on the drug of Johnson's majority come down to earth, Mordaunt is the only one they have who would be able to re-brand the party.

AFTER the Liar BoJo the Clown and people are forgetting about Jeremy Corbyn. If Labour KICKS OUT Corbynites and Starmer then seats will return and a NEW Lib-Lab Pact will be a possibility. NOT a Good Possibility, but it will help UK sink as fast as the Conservatives are making the country go. ONLY Good news is the Scottish Necrosis Party will be SMALL and NO Scottish Greens thanks to Lorna Slater and her lies.

I think Ben Wallace the current Defence Secretary will move to a safe Conservative seat

@arandmorgan 11 месяцев назад

I don't like conservatives at all, but I do like Ben Wallace. I think he is a genuinely decent person.

@tonymaries1652 11 месяцев назад

Apparently he has set his sights on leaving politics altogether and being the next NATO Secretary General. Like @arandmorgan I don't dislike him, he strikes me as a decent man and the only member of the cabinet who is honest and capable and doing a job which suits him.

@@arandmorgan As an anyone but the Tories voter, I'm stuck in a strong Conservative seat, so my vote will be meaningless again. I do though have a grudging respect for Tom Tugendhat, partly because he does respond to emails, gets involved in local issues and seems to have a genuine affection for non-English culture and language. I think he is studying Arabic and getting feedback from constituents on face book. I'll never vote for him, but perhaps along with Rory Stewart, he's not so bad ( as long as I don't check his voting record ).

@ferretcatcher2377 11 месяцев назад

I think he already lives in a safe seat. His kids go to a local school. He seems a good egg.

@@tonymaries1652 He's already been ruled out of the NATO job. Biden was never going to allow a Brit to head up the organisation. I think they're going to extend the term of the current head.
