Nicholas Winterton was the previous Macc MP so I guess that tells a tale. Next to Tatton too, of infamy in the Martin Bellera etc. (Now the despicable Esther McVey, previously Osborne, previously the Hamiltons). Deepest darkest (i.e. whitest) Cheshire of course, so blue instincts run deep there.

This doesn't look too good for international relations: "Moments ago we reported that Chinese government officials expressed shock at Abe's shooting and have said they hope he recovers soon. But on social media Chinese nationalists have been expressing joy at the shooting. BBC analysis showed many of the top liked comments on Weibo, one of China's biggest social media platforms, gloated at the former PM's shooting, while the state-backed broadcaster CCTV's TikTok account videos also posted mocking videos." |

They've missed the words 'A second time' from that headline.

They need to do everything they can now to force a snap election. They are polling at 40 with tories at 29.

Another reason why all the talk of Bunter calling a snap election was nonsense.
