To be fair she is very visible in the community. I don't think I saw Cunningham once, or any previous MP in other places I've lived for that matter, yet Sultana has knocked on more door several times to see if there's any issues I want to bring up.Yeah I can’t stand Sultana but she’s improved as she’s gone on so I’d hope she’s hit her bottom. I’d still rather she was replaced mind you. Absolute fruitcake.

My Mum is a life long Conservative voter and thinks Sultana is the best MP she's ever had so just goes to show these things are never straightforward.

Maybe voters don't really care about tone and parliamentary languageFound her very standoffish and cliquey when she came to a CLP meeting o was at. And generally don’t like her tone in Parliament, all a bit performative, but she’s toned it down from her first few months. Still a fucking Liverpool fan born in Brum and representing Cov though. Can’t get past that.

Good thread on why Labour shouldn’t get excited:
Not really that good as it ignores the effect the change of leadership will have on the 2019 tory vote.
I'm sorry but I just can't see Sunak or Truss etc. having the same pull for former labour voters in the northern "redwall" seats
All the n Shropshire vote shows is that in a free hit protest vote Tories are prepared to vote Lib Dem to send a message. It'll be a Tory seat again in 2024.
Sunak is local to the area around many of those seats, mind. Granted, his has been as safe Tory as it's possible to be, but still.Not really that good as it ignores the effect the change of leadership will have on the 2019 tory vote.

Don't discount the ability of the Conservative Party to reinvent themselves either, the new leader bounce, and the perception of renewed competence could be worth a fair amount.
Can be offset by renewed confidence in them in the south, however, and picking up a couple of Scottish seats from disenfranchised SNP haters. It may very well not be as large a majority as now, but it would be seismic for them to lose their majority in entirety.I don't see anyway that a more "traditional tory" tory party has the same appeal in Blyth as Johnson
Maybe but the duck has been broken with these people now. You must have seen that interview with people in Hartlepool who were voting Tory because they blamed Labour for the local police station and A&E being cut. How do you deal with that?Yeah but there is a massive difference between Richmond and Bishop Auckland.

Wonder if there are any parties still ready and willing to support them in a coalition...?
QT was interesting last night. The Tory representative was getting dogs of abuse from the Stoke on Trent audience, especially when he started talking about the “levelling up” funds being made to the area and suggesting that their 3 new Tory MP’s are doing a terrific job for them. Lisa Nandy in contrast got a good response to pretty much everything she said, especially when slating the Tories. If QT was anything to go by Stoke has buyers remorse at electing Tory MP’s.Can be which why the anyone but tory tactical voting would be important as there are also a lot of tory lib dem marginals in the south.
No one should be crownig Labour now but there are now for the first time green shoots and a path now
Being reported that the man Boris has put in charge of investigating last year’s Xmas party hosted an Xmas party himself in his office.
In other news Boris thinks that they lost the by election because the press are reporting on everything they do not just the things Boris wants them to report.
One guy in the audience who claimed to not be a labour voter had him good on levelling up. I think Stoke has £54M or there abouts in levelling up fund, he pointed out that cross rail has a budget of £19B and challenged him to throw those sort of budgets at areas like Stoke and see how much they can achieve. Transport and connectivity in the region (apparently Stoke on Trent is 3 separate towns) seems to be a hot topic in Stoke and all the Tory could muster was the re-opening of a leisure centre that had closed under Tory austerity cuts as levelling up.Not a million miles away from what I predicted!

I don't mean to sound overly patronising (or maybe I do!) but... should we be worried about his health?!?
He's never been overly dapper but, my word.
It’s a distraction. The more atrocious he behaves the worse he has to look to distract from the bad news.I don't mean to sound overly patronising (or maybe I do!) but... should we be worried about his health?!?

How he looks is the least of our worries. It's what he does or fails to do that the problem.I don't mean to sound overly patronising (or maybe I do!) but... should we be worried about his health?!?

The new head of the charity watchdog quit today before officially taking up his post after The Times uncovered how “inappropriate behaviour” led to his resignation from an aid agency.
Martin Thomas, 58, a friend of Boris Johnson, was confirmed as chairman of the Charity Commission last week by the culture secretary Nadine Dorries.
He was due to begin work on December 27 but stepped down after The Times raised questions about his appointment in the wake of his role in a bullying investigation this year when he was chairman of Women For Women International UK.
