Labour have won my seat once. In 1929. It was largely conservative and unionist until 1997 when it turned Lib Dem. I assume people who are really tories couldn’t vote labour and Lib Dem was as far as they would go. |

My seat has been Labour since 1945 - so not just my entire lifetime, but the lifetime of both my parents.

My seat has been Labour, SNP, Tory, SNP since 2012. I predict a Tory will get in again this time. |

The seat i previously lived in was Labour and had been since the 30s (Tony Blair was my MP). We moved about eight miles when we retired and are now in a Lab/Con marginal. It’s had cabinet ministers of both parties as its MP (Alan Milburn and Michael Fallon), both a bit unsavoury… |

Round here, the had been the Con in office since 2010, taking it from Labour. The ward has only been in existence since '83, when it used to be Brighouse and Spenborough. But the majority is well under 6K. Soft pedalling by Lib Dems may help as might a return for whatever UKIP are called now after a Johnson con absence in'19.. |

Boundary changes where I am mean the incumbent Labour MP has to work a bit harder as the seat now covers some more traditionally Conservative areas and has lost a bit of traditional Labour ground. He should still be OK to hang on though.

Former EU president let’s the ugly mask slip revealing the racism prevalent in senior EU leadership (see Borrell and the garden being invaded by savages allegory) archive.ph Just a reminder to all those who yearn to be back in the EU of what it’s really like. |

Yeh, be sure to tell us when Brexit Britain is less racist and you might have a vague leg to stand on. Weren’t you apologising for British working class racists a few hundred pages back? |

No illusions about racism in this country. Perhaps you could back up your assertion with a link - please apply by the fozzy golden standard of providing a source

Has anyone read the "New Conservatives" (25 anti migration Tory cabal) plans for reducing migration by 400K? It's surprisingly left wing! Though the driver is reducing immigrants, their first proposal of cancelling the special visa for care workers they admit would require UK workers to replace the 100K lost immigrating works, by raising wages and working conditions. Incredible! I believe in welcoming people from all over the world, but not as cheap labour. Bizarre that these right wing conservatives should actually be proposing partly good things, even if for all the wrong reasons! G
