POSSIBLE BY-ELECTION KLAXON

Scott Benton, elected as a Conservative, currently independent MP for Blackpool South, could now be subject to a recall petition. His majority over Labour at the last election was 3,690, so you’d expect Labour to pick this one up if there is a by-election.

    I would hope there is a GE before this comes into play. Sunak is on the ropes. One nation is showing some nerve and making demands that are contrary to what the ERG are after. I hope he pulls the plug on his problems in the party and calls an election.

      I wish you were right but the man’s too much of a coward. He’d have made the Rwanda bill a confidence vote if he had the guts, but he doesn’t!

        I firmly believe that the only thing Sunak is after is that trade deal with India. If it looks unobtainable, then he will bail. A large rebellion gunning for him will do that.
