EG and Uckfield a much safer bet now for the Tories. I did the local election count a year ago and she and her team spent most of the time watching the Tory vote pile up in those wards while they lost control of everything else. Shortly afterwards she announced she was choosing the new seat...

I'm staggered at the level of support that Labour are claiming to have in Mid Sussex - at the last DC elections they polled 7% - but if true a very good chance the anti Tory vote will split and allow the appalling Kristy Adams in.

Save Our Town Burgess Hill (REMG) I have no idea what the REMG bit stands for.

There is a particularly lunatic FB group in Burgess Hill which was originally set up to save a mini roundabout (I kid you not) but which has morphed into a generally right wing / pro conspiracy cess pit in which local councillors are threatened (two have had to resign and the police are...

The Tories no longer control any Borough or District Council anywhere in Sussex. That is a massive shift in political choice across the County.

Labour and Lib Dem’s neck and neck with the Tories in the new Mid Sussex constituency according to some polls. Certainly won’t be a walkover for the Tories but a good chance the anti Tory vote will split the opposition and allow the shocking Kristy Adams in.

And a Tory councillor in Haywards Heath is an admin of all 36 groups. No wonder they are losing control of Mid Sussex.

Presumably he can point to evidence of a corresponding decrease in asylum seekers arriving in the UK - or alternatively he is talking nonsense as usual.

Just when you think they have sunk to the lowest they can go, they find another level. I cannot imagine any other organisation where admitting to sharing the personal details of colleagues to a sexually motivated, presumably anonymous, contact would not result in immediate dismissal.

It's honestly quite hard to keep up with the steady stream of scandals stemming from this corrupt bunch of shysters we call a government. Just in the last week - deliberately leaking key parts of the budget, claiming they are cutting taxes and debt when they are actually going up, govt minister...

Rank hypocrisy on their part. Their walk out last night was petulant and indicative of a party putting self before country and the suffering in Gaza.

Does nobody in the Tory Party ever stop for a second and say to themselves "I wonder what that might look like to the average voter?". Thought the same listening to Sunak this morning.

A late night, slightly strange, tweet from Mid Sussex MP Mims Davies suggests she is unhappy about something. She remains a big fan of Mordaunt so perhaps another leadership contest being mooted.

That critical distinction seems to be totally lost on the remaining Johnson cultists.

A liar and a charlatan. No humility, grace or contrition - a poundshop Trump we are well shot of. And the best news is that Sunaks govt is damaged still further.

Absolutely. Ran from Eastleigh when she knew she would lose and doing it again. She waited to see how the local election results panned out and then made her choice.

Mid Sussex has a strong chance of going Lib Dem. The boundary has been redrawn, the strongest Tory vote has gone to the new EG and Uckfield constituency which is where the current Mid Sussex MP is scuttling off to. HH and BH went Lib Dem at the last local elections, Hassocks and Hurst are being...

Tories lose control of Mid Sussex. Lib Dems now the largest party. Conservatives held all the seats up until 2019 as I recall.

”Stop The Boats” - a slogan worthy of the National Front.

Good to see the back of the worst PM in my lifetime, suspect though we are about to hit a new low.
