Yup. And to wrong foot Richard Tice & Reform UK. And it worked.
The problem is that Labour have had, in the main, either PPCs in place (Like Mike Tap) softening up the constituency with a superb New Media campaign (He's turning up on my TV whenever I watch YouTube (!) as well as having content on Twitter/Facebook) BEFORE the election was called and before spending limits are imposed or sitting MP's who are almost bound to be re-elected as long as they say the 'right' thing about Gaza.
The Conservatives have a load of MPs who have jumped ship at the last minute leaving over 130 constituencies trying to find an 'approved candidate' who could point out Dover on a map of England (a bit like 'our' Charlie did putting 'our' Natalie forward) + a load of half-mad local politicians who stupidly think their time has come.
