Sounds like the Tory candidate with the impressive CV in Shropshire is now being hidden from sight because party bigwigs fear he'll shoot himself in the foot if he faces any kind of media scrutiny.
Remind you of any other so-called top class Tory campaigners?
The Tories will hold N Shropshire because: - Postal votes already in - Too big mountain to climb - Brexit - Too many people not that engaged with the political machinations
That will boost Johnson, who stays on despite the politerati declaring him toast after the past week.
Two more years drip, drip, drip of misstep, scandal, u-turn, and incompetence.
Which all leads to a resounding Tory defeat in GE24, never mind the swings required, never mind the BC changes.
The only way for the Tories to avoid defeat in 2024 is to ditch Johnson now. But they won't.
Wish I could be as confident as you are, I can see if the clown is still in charge, a concerted attempt to portray him as some sort of hero, who has made mistakes but has learnt from them, by his powerful friends in the media, and then SKS doesnt eat a bacon sandwich properly, and hey ho there us another election win for tories
No risk of that last bit. SKS is a vegetarian.
...who eats fish
... but the comment was about a bacon sandwich. Bacon is not fish.
It's entirely possible to have vegetarian bacon. I wouldn't put it past some Tory to try and feed him a sandwich.
The thing I think amazing in all this is that I will get more opprobium both here and in a public setting for saying fuck off to masking and social distancing and refusing to do it than people who refuse to vaccinate.
Refuse to vaccinate and there will be plenty riding to your defence, it is your body and you are sovereign over what goes in it. Refuse to obey shite regulation that is the current covid theatre and will achieve the squareroot of fuck all and get people piling in on you and little support
The ongoing obsession with silly cloth and paper masks is one of the most bizarre facets of this whole miserable, never ending crisis. Insofar as I'm aware no conclusive evidence has ever been produced that they're any use at all; all of the studies, such as they are, are variously non-committal, utilise very low sample sizes, were conducted in irrelevant situations (e.g. looking at transmission within households,) are flawed systemically (e.g. unable to distinguish between changes in disease prevalence caused by the masks themselves or by behavioural differences between mask and non-mask wearers, or are statistical analyses that simply aggregate a number of these flawed studies and attempt to draw conclusions by passing all the results through a computer.
Pieces of blue paper seem to have acquired the status of magical amulets to ward off the evil eye. You'd probably get about as much protection from the virus by wearing a medallion with Chris Whitty's face on it, and it would be considerably less annoying.
Recent More or Less (Radio 4) thought they probably reduce your chances of getting infected by 10-20%, with an unknown additional (and possibly larger?) effect of reducing how many people you infect if you've got it.

It's not a shite regulation - and it is entirely visible. Put this way, I wouldn't want to sit next to you on the Tube, but how can I spot an anti-vaxxer who is masked?
I used to wear much heavier masks for the entire working day, so I don't sympathise with those who merely find them uncomfortable, though there are real issues with some people (deaf, asthmatic etc.)
Though I have considerable sympathy for your feeling hard done by compared to the anti-vaxxers.
Well you wont sit next to me on the tube, however you think I will mask up to go into a shop which causes me considerable discomfort then you have another think coming
