Interesting night for the Tories.

2 out of 3 aint that bad, especially when the 1 you do hold is where people just assumed you were doomed to failure.

That Uxbridge result might well have some serious consequences for British public policy on climate change. Early takes on it (and not had time to really catch up on it all) is that this Ulez insanity may well have been the defining factor.

Now clearly an utter disaster in the other two seats but something clearly not in the conventional playbook happened over in West London yesterday

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

The Boris factor, Uxbridge almost but not quite able to shrug him off finally.

Their only claim to fame having the former PM as their MP.

'I was in Uxbridge during the war' - Monty Python.

It's very important that anyone who still votes Tory and actually still thinks that what they are getting isn't the same woke anti white BS that Labour are about then they need to watch this.

This guy has seen the belly of the Tory governmental beast close up itself and informs you as to why....for example....you can give the Tories an 80 seat majority....but see nothing actually change and all the same diversity and other leftist bollocks still shoved down your neck.

Absolutely. Which is why this Uxbridge result poses dilemas for both parties as they are both fully signed up to this 'Net Zero' bollox.

And Uxbridge shows them that there is a real electoral price to be paid for it.

If the Tories were serious about winning the next election, which under the leadership of the likes of Sunak they are clearly not, then they would champion the motorist at the top of their lungs. Promise cheaper fuel. But they won't. Because nobody in power wants that.

Cheaper fuel means less profits and less taxes.

Tbh matov I read and get your posts. How have labour not won this seat. The tories are as you say labour light and still won. I stated in many posts that the climate issue means nothing to anyone unless you are minted and not affected by it, or actually believe the bollox. Put your money where your mouth is all parties and either ditch it or make it as we are told money no option to achieve net zero bollox. No tax on green cars, houses or purchases. Yeah right !!!!

Pensioners 'fed up' and 'lonely' as half of bus routes axed since Tories took power.

Pensioners say they’ve been left feeling “fed up” and “lonely” by the cuts to public transport as new figures reveal half of local bus routes have been axed since 2010.

Since the Tories came to power, many small towns no longer have adequate public transport and residents are forced to use cars – if they can.

And that's only the buses try getting a train up north.

A legacy of shame.
