Very odd choice from the Tory party. I think a local pro Brexit candidate would have fared much better.

She's been parachuted in and seemingly against the Conservative Party selection process which has left local Tories more than a bit miffed. She was seen canvassing on Chelmsford Avenue today..on her own. Shades of Failing Ayling in 2015.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Tory manifesto is a disaster for them, no costings and policies designed to upset everyone.

They will still urine it nationally though.

I have bet on Melanie Onn retaining GY at 2/1 as can't see how she isn't favourite other than her Remain stance.

I've had a small bet on a hung Parliament at 10\1,  the Tories are getting desperate and May is starting to look not up to the job

Well well. Strong and stable has turned into weak and wobbly in the space  of four days...

Sure we'll hear a lot about Diane Abbott's poor maths or some other such balderdash in the next few days.

Grimsbys Conservative candidate! She's a Scunthorpe United fan! What a joke! lol

I don't believe she is, she's clearly doing whatever it takes to win a few votes, and if this means attending the odd game and waving a scarf in your local constituency then so be it, Nothing Austin Mitchell and Melanie Onn haven't done.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

Theresa's been strengthening up in the Cobra gym tonight. Flexing her muscles to raise the terror threat to critical - but it's definitely not for election purposes.

to be fair it's a decision that is taken independently, but i bet she accepted it in a heartbeat! she's a very lucky politician; on the ropes and wobbling, labour cutting into her lead and sensing a chance and then suddenly manchester changes everything. she can look presidential, calm, 'strong and stable' and in charge. the electioneering is on hold until at least the weekend when the dementia tax will seem, relatively, like a bit of unimportant ancient history as troops patrol the streets. meanwhile corbyn is left hanging in the wind with that faint whiff of being soft/weak on terrorism and security wafting around him.

ps last 2 occasions when troops have been called out in similar circumstances, they have been out there for 4 and 5 days. Anyone like to bet that it's about 2-3 weeks this time round? not that i'm a cynic or anything......
