Con Mps Running Scared.

[gulliver1]

Tory MPs at risk of loosing seats are being allowed to stand in other constituencies.
Most of these have been deemed displaced.. "Your not joking"....
Attention is turning to the G.E. And with double digit inflation looming the Con's are flapping. But one Tory Mp has announced he won't be standing for re-election next year and guess what seat that is "Henley -on-Thames".
......Local Tory officials in Uxbridge and South Ruislip are worried in case their candidate might decide to switch to a safer seat . Henley on Thames maybe , where the Uxbridge candidate is going to buy a £4m mansion .?????

Funny remark as there was an article earlier this week showing that the Labour lead over the Cons has considerably reduced.

Uxbridge and South Ruislip might be glad to see him go. They might have more chance of holding the seat with a different candidate.

This move has provoked anger among other Tory MPs who are accusing their colleagues of trying to jump to a safer seat and doing a chicken run of when an MP ducks out of one constituency because they know they can not win and moves to another.

Dtc 15.05 ... But still well in front

Hopkirk 15.05 Spot on. Boris has no chance of winning that one.

yeah but no but
Winston Churchill was MP for Oldham once.

Oh and has a PM ever been defeated in a constituency? Yeah India apparently. I thought Ed Balls had done it, but he was only Shadow chancellor
asked what he was going to do after his defeat he replied
I really have no idea

[Hopkirk]

Michael Portillo was considered a potential PM until he lost Enfield.
