As a fellow King Edward VI Stourbridge College alumnus, I'd say that her being a K'ford girl, and him being from Wolverhampton, draw your own conclusions. Lots of parked cars up Baggeridge Park on a Friday night.

I'll assume Baggeridge is an east-midlands vowel shift.

Ho ho.

Nope, it's a country park, reclaimed colliery site, betwixt the twain.

Hmmm. And yet she represents West Bromwich East, a good few miles away.

You know, I'm not sure Nadine Dorries is originally from Bedfordshire...

And has lived in Tewkesbury for the last few years.

A reassuring thought for Friday. When it’s laid out like this, and the trend is the same across the board despite weeks of their best efforts to appeal to their base, I think it’s safe to say a Tory comeback is not just difficult at this stage but effectively impossible. It is nothing but a matter of time now until Labour take power, and Sunak’s last throw of the dice is choosing when the axe falls - and even that has a fixed upper limit.

They are done.

The Tory achievement

Britons have more confidence in EU than Westminster, poll finds

People in Britain have more confidence in the EU than the UK parliament, reversing a state of affairs that has lasted for more than 30 years, research reveals.

Since the UK voted for Brexit, the proportion of people declaring confidence in parliament has slumped by 10 percentage points to 22% while there has been a seven percentage point rise in confidence in the Brussels-based bloc, to 39%. Confidence in the UK government also fell from 2017 to 2021...

All this posturing, tub-thumping, and Brexitty bollocks. Just who are the Tories playing to? The EU is more trusted than they are.

As Crabby says, they're finished.

And yet the likes of James Johnson (who err worked in Theresa May's office in 2017) will continue to push this narrative that people are hesitant on Starmer and yet not on Sunak.

This one knows he has no chance against the big boys of finding a safe seat as he gets gerrymandered into oblivion.

A third Conservative Black Country MP says he is to stand down at the next general election.

Eddie Hughes has represented Walsall North since 2017, but says proposed boundary changes are about to end the constituency as he knows it...

When, please God, this lot get slung out of office with their suitcases bouncing down the road after them, I think a probably-forgotten by then incident of two weeks ago will have been a big turning point. Gary Lineker, the champagne socialist BBC luvvie hypocrite, took the side of refugees, the perceived public enemy number one, and the public backed him.

The Bravermans?

As we say around these parts, fuck 'em.

Empire middle management. Putting some sjambok about. Says it all.

A love story that makes Twilight look like Dr Zhivago.

Some might call it a courageous attempt to humanise Braverman.
Most will consider it a challenge too far.

The redrawn Ashford seat is not very safe. No wonder Green had a crack at the new Weald of Kent seat.

The crowd in these selection photos never changes.

The crowd in these selection photos never changes.

Makes you wonder whether the Tories are hiring "members" form a "talent agency".

They do all look like they come from central casting.
