But it's only a by-election. People are just making a point but will change when it comes to the general election..... (yeah right). Roland sorry Rishi did pick a good time to be out of the country....

Hooray and the only dramatic turnaround I would like to see is for the Tories to shut the door on the way out.

He won't of believed it either Den. He'll have been given the short straw to parrott some poor excuse lines pre written for him days ago. If I was a Tory (shudders), I'd be changing course very quickly not trying to maintain the status quo.

The Tories (and Brexit) are on the way out. They've more than had their chance and failed making this country considerably worse off. Fortunately the more sensible next generation are coming through, as the Tory oap support inevitably declines. The longer they leave it till the next election the less MPs they'll have.

Amusingly enough, the votes cast for the Reform UK candidates in Tamworth and Mid-Beds were more than the margin between the Conservative candidate winning or losing...

That means nothing. It’ll be in the manifesto.

This is a by election with a very poor turnout. The test, of course, will be a General Election, when people have to start think things through properly. Still over a year to go.

I hope you're ready for the rapid exodus of wealth and investment that will result.
