  • The leafy Surrey constituency of Esher and Walton has been a Conservative strong hold since it was established in 1950. Dominic Raab is set to ousted by the Lib Dem candidate Monica Harding at the next election.
    We went there to find out why.

      so its either raise the nmw or the hours so folk get more than 10k per annum ,
      there is of course the 3rd side to the coin , and thats tax those in in work poverty more and not improve their pay or ability to earn more , but thats a tory snide way and you dont want to be a snide tory now do you ?

      Public Enemy Number 1 , Churchill was a man of his time and as it happens quite representative of it, I am aware that among the oh so trendy leftists he is considered all things bad but whatever his many failings he argued for non appeasement with the nazi regime in the face of opposition from many in his own party , in this he was eventually backed by the Labour party who , in some instances gave him more support than the Tories . In today's woke world he may appear unacceptable but whatever is levied against him his stance on Hitler and the Nazi hordes was a great factor in the eventual defeat of the axis powers , had he been a Labour MP he would now be seen in a very different light by the trendies .

      You're right that they could, but they probably wouldn't.
      You have to have an address in the constituency you're running in, so they'd need to find him another place and put him in there instead, get him an address there.
      As well, there's opportunity cost. They'd be betting on a fairly radioactive political figure for no other reason than he's their mate, and that's probably overstating their relationship. He's no more likely to win a different seat (indeed he could end up losing a safe seat it he movers in and tries to set himself up), and it would be really expensive.
      More embarrassingly, it would fully concede the race to the Lib Dems, because it would say "we have no faith in this candidate winning in this area."
      It would be an admission of weakness, as well as bad political strategy. He's not that important to them.

    What have the tories actually achieved in these long years they have been in power? We had the Cameron years of tory austerity so the economy could get strong. Massive tax rises and cuts to healthcare, massive cuts to welfare, policing, our armed forces..in fact almost everything that could be cut was cut. The result? The economy is still in tatters, NHS, police, armed forces, welfare, teaching, immigration..in fact everything the government has responsibility for is in ruins. What are we left facing? More higher taxes, more austerity, unaffordable mortgages and massive council tax increases, runaway inflation, ordinary folk reduced to using food banks. At least the rich have never been richer, energy companies can't stop making eye watering profits and the WEF have got our government in it's pocket.

    I wouldn't describe the 2019 election result; a majority of just 2,743 for Raab over his nearest (LibDem) challenger, as a "safe Tory seat" - it doesn't need much of a swing to the LibDems under FPTP for Raab to become an ex-MP? Demographic and societal shifts also mean there are many similar constituencies in relatively affluent areas of the UK where the LibDems can realistically expect to unseat an incumbent Conservative MP at the next UK General Election - tactical voting by 'switched on' citizens in such constituencies would significantly increase the number of Tory casualties?

"Red Tory" Labour party, I want to knock Raab out of Parliament, so will likely hold my nose and run the risk of a "yellow Tory" a.k.a Lib Dem again, but I'm a Green Party member and very pro-Corbyn "Old Labour" party i.e. actual pro-worker and socalist values.
