Blackpool South and Wellingborough next. Blackpool will be the mother of all thrashings, Wellingborough has a smaller majority than last night. Fun times.

Glances at Emily Thornberry, six days after the 2019 General Election...

One of those that doesn't matter all that much. Tamworth should be so safely Tory that if Labour held it they'd be on 400+ seats. Reckon Labour HQ will be fine with seats in just the high 300s.

Mid Beds: Alistair Strathern, Labour: 13,872 Festus Akinbusoye, Conservative: 12,680 Emma Holland-Lindsay, Lib Dem: 9,420 Feels even bigger than the Tamworth one.

Tamworth: Labour: 11,719 Tories: 10,403 Largest percentage overturned ever in a by-election apparently.

He said that a while ago. Think I posted it in the main Tory thread quite a way back.

Absolutely. I'd also add that while General Elections are resource management operations, to encourage your voters and activists that they want to turn up and knock on doors at that time, you need to at least demonstrate that you're interested at the other times.

Got my deckchair out and my saltire ready to wave. Wonder how it'll go.
-
Well, I guess that's the sort of story that helps get the vote out on Thursday.
-
Not all that fussed about the result of this one. Hopefully Bone stands again, and the news round gets a solid week or two of "Sunak forced to defend bullying and sexual misconduct allegations". Reckon that's far more damaging in the long-term than whether a safe Tory seat loses its Tory MP for 12 months.

Representative for Wellingborough moniker is well-earned.
-
My understanding is various not-quite-as-much-a-bunch-of-pricks-as-the-current-lot will probably end up in coalition. Will wait for @StefanAVFC to confirm or deny though.

There was talk about how the direction of the party during their time in opposition is going to be a continuation of their current three (broadly) way fight between the continuity-Cameron/Osborne in Rupert Harrison, who is their candidate in Bicester, continuity-May via Nick Timothy in West Suffolk and continuity-insanity via Braverman. As we've said before, it only takes a couple of strange election upsets and their whole path is thrown off-kilter. Lose of a couple of bigger names from any of the factions and things probably look a bit different.

"Actually, I've decided I really like the union after all"
-
If the IRA's mission was the destruction of the British state and the death all British people then politicians on all sides in the '90s might have found the Belfast Agreement a bit more of a challenge to get agreed.
-
On that whole "when will The Sun come out and back Labour" thing from a couple of days ago, this probably gives a fairly good indication of where their winds are blowing
-
The Express do it pretty regularly.

I think you're giving the Twitter output of Sir Michael Take a level of analysis that I don't think the author is really looking for!
-
Broadly disagree with the point, but any time Avenue Q is brought into the discourse it deserves all the likes.
-
Looks like the Labour Party election fund just grew a bit more

James Cleverley is the closest they have. Clearly doing his best to keep all of the lunatic fringes on his side, popular with the members etc. I reckon if the final two were him and Badenoch he'd lose, him and Braverman he'd win. Unless something strange happens, I'd expect those three to be the people in the conversation though.
