As a constant lurker I rarely contribute, but as a constituent of the egregious Mr. Anderson I feel I must.
He is of course not intelligent but cunning; he was not only a Labour councillor previously but the election agent for the previous Labour MP, Gloria di Piero. He has gone from that to being the deputy leader of the Tory party in 5 years, and I don't suppose his views have changed in that time, but he now feels it is more convenient to express them. It is fair to say that what he says chimes with the general feelings of many people in Ashfield, particularly over immigration.
However, he was elected last time because of two special factors: Jeremy Corbin and Brexit. The hatred for the former and enthusiasm for the latter was palpable, but they don't apply this time around. His love for publicity is a benefit for a politician, but some of his utterances antagonise people, for example attacks on striking nurses. I think he will lose his seat next time.
