If this was my constituency, even though the Conservatives deserve a kicking, I would still vote Rees Mogg , he makes me laugh, which is a mile away from Starmer . At 2/1 worth a punt RM holds on . And so would I with relish. A good MP, clever, witty, polite and with a degree of charm. The perfect antidote to the many appalling harridans on the Labour benches. |

Charm is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Charm is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. I think it is a bit of a constant really. It is an attribute that many dislike of itself. It is deployed by many men who are comfortable with women and like women. I think the majority of British men don't actually like women very much and surprisingly few are really comfortable with them. Such men distrust those deploying charm and regard them as 'outsiders'. |

I’m sure some Labour people will quietly hope he clings on and becomes leader, thereby casting the Tories into further electoral oblivion and really making Starmer look like a man of the people! no, really, we don’t. We are all extremely keen to see a Labour gain. |

It occurs to me that this race could be summarised as "top hat v two hats" since Norris is also Wess Vinglun metro mayor.

German news was following Rees-Mogg around at the weekend. Very curious.

Does anyone know if the surge in the Lib Dem vote in North East Somerset in 2019 was concentrated in a particular part of that seat?
Just wondering how it broke on the new boundaries in 2014 and if it prepared the ground for the Lib Dem gain in Frome and East Somerset or if there was a significant shift to Labour in this seat.

Just wondering how it broke on the new boundaries in 2014 and if it prepared the ground for the Lib Dem gain in Frome and East Somerset or if there was a significant shift to Labour in this seat. Not sure if there was significant concentration, I think it's just that this general election saw a lot of tactical voting and parties prioritizing campaign resources in winnable seats. The old NE Somerset saw Labour and the Lib Dems nearly tied for second in 2019- and it was pretty evenly divided in half in the boundary review. Half of it being paired with areas from the old Kingswood that had a decent Labour presence but little Lib Dem presence, and the other half being paired with areas from the old Somerton and Frome which had decent Lib Dem presence but little Labour presence. So it is natural that the local Labour party would prioritize focusing on NE Somerset and Hanham whilst the local Lib Dems focused on Frome and East Somerset. I do wonder what would have happened if there had been no boundary review. Maybe in that event, NE Somerset would have seen a similar result to Aylesbury. |

Is it reasonable to think that the LDs did best in the bits closest to Bath?

Was this the only seat where the same candidate won a seat back from the person they'd lost it to at an earlier election.
