It now looks possible that the huge majority enjoyed by the disgraced Tory MP Owen Paterson could be overturned by the Liberal Democrat candidate Helen Morgan

This marks the end for BJ.
Can us Remainers now have a voice ??

Good news. A turning point?

vegansrock Fri 17-Dec-21 06:15:48

Woohoo! Maybe the tories will realise Johnson is not Mr Popular and get rid.

What an amazing result. smile

What is so interesting is that this is not a "metro" seat with a demographic shift away from the Conservatives.
This is Leave country. Is the tide finally turning?

Wonderful news.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 17-Dec-21 04:23:37

Oh gosh!

Very very well done!

Looks like a LibDem win. smile

Well. Better let’s just hope those nice squeaky clean Tories win then.

For so many there is absolutely nobody to vote for. Any party that doesn't know what a woman is, is a no vote in my opinion. If you don't care about females, or have any concerns about their safety, go for it, vote for whoever you like.

I care about the fact that we have a government that are planning to privatise health care and many people will suffer when that happens.

we have to suffer the damage he continues to do to our country unless/ until Tory MPs decide to get rid of him.

So they really ought to do that, if there are enough decent ones who actually care, of course.

Don't give a monkey's about child safety, about irreversible damage....... just shut your eyes and plead ignorance........and hope it doesn't come to bite you on the bum!

I don’t think anyone said the Tories were squeaky clean. I certainly didn’t. I just pointed out that the Lib-Dem party are not sure about 50% of their voters and are happy to be funded by a firm that promotes chemical castration of young people.

How about checking the other things they make that eg drugs that treat bladder cancer, infertility, prostate cancer, fertility problems, nocturna….

Given that puberty blockers are their fastest growing interest....... maybe consider the irreversible, catastrophic impacts of puberty blockers....... unless you're just not concerned that youngsters are having life-changing procedures promoted to them.

I’m only concerned that the Lib-Dems are financed by Ferring pharmaceuticals, who sell puberty blockers used on the young even knowing what the outcome will be, and aren’t sure what a woman is. But hey ho. What does that matter as long as the Tories are out.

That horrified me, the funding the Lib-Dems accept from such a vested interest. As a disenfranchised voter ( Labour, please, please realise what a woman is) I've voted Lib-Dem in the past but they can whistle for my vote ever again.

Imagine if the Lib Dem candidate wins. I won’t stay up but it’s the first thing I’ll check in the morning
