Jumping in on a point from the previous thread but there's no way Labour loses Vauxhall, they've held it since 1950 at least and only had less than 50% of the vote twice. The demographic change would need to be gigantic.

Tobias Ellwood, the defence minister who has been very critical of the idea of a no-deal Brexit as an acceptable outcome, is not planning to resign, and has urged colleagues to support Boris Johnson. “It’s a duty of every MP to support the prime minister right now,” he told the Press Association.

gammon are useful for political bbc dept who aren't interested in interviewing people from Yorkshire unless they are rabid tories from Beverley/York or completely inarticulate racist idiots who communicate in grunts. And of course strong Yorkshire accents means they represent the working class regions of the county, who they keep telling us, Labour has almost completely lost the support of since 2015.

Both Dawn Foster and Frances Young are otm about how it's completely offensive that you are supposed to treat politics like a game and not take it personally that vile detritus like Swinson have consistently supported horrible policies that have plunged people into poverty, homelessness and death. You should just dust yourself down + metaphorically shake hands with them and say well played, you won fairly by the rules, jolly good show.
