A Gatwick baggage handler, always Tory, spoke of immigration mainly, fearing his daughters would be raped by foreigners. He sounded like a slider to Farage: “He’s a proper geezer.” But then came a surprise: “I might vote you lot, as you’re legalising cannabis, aren’t you? That’d bring in billions in tax for the NHS.” He, too, has NHS complaints, but immigration comes top.

Of course no Reform here. I'm not making many positive predictions for the Conservatives but I expect them to hold this one.

A rather densely worded leaflet from the Independent:

electionleaflets.org/leaflets/19719/

But this Tory leaflet looks a bit well, green:

electionleaflets.org/leaflets/19721/

And the real green leaflet:

electionleaflets.org/leaflets/19718/

And a not so green Tory leaflet:

electionleaflets.org/leaflets/19720/

here's the Lib Dem leaflet. Notably taking a less NIMBY stance than all other candidates except Labour (The IND in particular is a notable local NIMBY councillor).
