To be fair at the very top end of expectations in a real Tory meltdown there is a path to a Labour win here. Not the most likely result but far from impossible either

I'm reckoning this is a tory hold - very narrow but they'll hold.
Conservative - 40%
Labour - 37%

Eh, on a 20 point lead, I cant see it being too solid for the tories - unless that lead drops a good bit (but im going of off curent figures) no way tories can secure more than about an 8 - 10 point lead here. |

The Lib Dems are on a notional (and squeezable) 20% of the vote however.
These evenly split oppositions in Tory held seats are vulnerable if the electorate can get it's tactical knowhow together. Ludlow in 2001 being a good example.
And of course Reform will take a nice juicy munch out of that 55% Tory share too.

Goodness, it really would be something for Labour to win in Salisbury. I'll believe it when I see it.

This did not happen in the Suffolk seats of Central Suffolk & Ipswich North, South Suffolk and Suffolk Coastal however, and the Conservatives polled <40% in all 3 of these seats in 1997. |

This could equally well go in the Reform thread or the Outstanding Stupidity one, but the RefUK candidate got booed at hustings for boasting of having met Putin and what a nice man he was. Possibly if they'd selected a candidate who actually came from Salisbury they might have spotted the unwisdom of taking that line in this specific constituency. link |

Are they trying to make Farage look sensible and competent by getting all their other candidates to say something insane?

They are normalising bat-shit crazy language so that no-one bats an eyelid next time. Salisbury is an obvious constituency to laud Putin given his history of sending his agents as ‘tourists’ in the area. |

Unusually in this seat, both the Labour and the Liberal Democrats significantly increased their vote share, but the Conservatives held Salisbury yet again because of this split opposition, even though Reform UK finished 4th with a vote share well below their national average.

Perhaps a party whose leader has links to Putin wouldn't be too popular in this part of the world. |
