Remember this winner? She's not contesting the successor seat.

Is this a pitch to his constituency or the country?

I suppose you can't avoid featuring the Chancellor in the campaign, but he's seriously unpopular.

I still haven't seen Mordaunt.

Yesterday a local Lib Dem councillor used Facebook to announce that he was standing in the general election. In response to his announcement one woman posted that she had voted for the Tories in 2019 because she had believed Boris Johnson lies about getting Brexit down, but this time she is going to vote Lib Dem because she thinks that Labour are too soft on immigration! I must have missed the Lib Dems announcement that they are now an anti-immigration party.

Kings College London still getting value from their visiting professor.

The Lib Dems will be delighted they're getting this important cohort of voters back.

At least Lord Dave isn’t the one cutting and running this time.

Helpful intervention, as always. She ought to concentrate on pressing the flesh at Swaffham Farmer's Market.

That's probably just about it for three days, and I must say, that I know that these are early days, but the tory campaign is a joy to behold.

They are shit in the political waters.

I'm hoping Ms. Voderman wasn't tired & emotional when she xeeted this, because if there's any truth to it then the Tories are a laughing stock.

Dare I suggest they've spent too long in echo chambers, on social media and listening to fake gurus.
Now they've abandoned any real world knowledge and common sense for a pile of three word slogans.

At least they've still got dynamic relatable Rishi, and the charisma fountains Lords Moylan and Frost.

Stop giving them hints Carol!!

Talking of Cameron. Who thinks Starmer's going to get up one day and decide he's joining Stop The War? Quite flattering to think Starmer can create an "uncertain world" though.

David Cameron: the once and future cunt.

Usual YTS standard comms here. Doesn't even make sense.

The expression (used by Major in 1992, for example) is "Don't sleepwalk into a Labour Government". It's public who are sleepwalking, not Starmer, FFS! The metaphor for Starmer is "sneaking into Downing Street", not sleepwalking.

It's doubtless bollocks, but possibly not absolute bollocks that Cameron will step in to the breach.

In a country where an Aldi lettuce can seize the initiative from a certifiable cabbage in mainstream political discourse, a pig-fucking, Greensill-grifter might just fancy his chances.

Indeed, I ain't no Saturday night psephologist, but I would place those chances ahead of those of that damp lad.

Dowden, clueless and timidity. This is beyond satire.

I see Dowden called Starmer "clueless" there too. Starmer was the DPP. Where are Dowden's medals?

Where did "timidity" come from anyway?

As opposed to Rishi "Mad Dog" Sunak?

Dowden is deputy Prime Minister because he is Rishi Sunak's closest political ally. He is a mediocre MP who has been pretty average in every role that he has been given. With so many senior Tory MPs throwing in the towel hopefully Dowden will end up doing even more media work for the Tories.
