I wonder if Gullis well liked in Stoke - he has a high profile but surely he can't hold on here?

He has the wrong sort of profile. Even if we ignore what he says, I'm not sure if he's entirely aware which types of media are electorally beneficial to be on all the time and which are not.

I don't give Gullis much chance of surviving here from what I've been hearing. Brereton has a much better chance especially now the boundary changes make his seat more Tory

Brereton holding on would probably be an indicator that the Tory vote in the Midlands has held up reasonable well and therefore Labour will struggle to get a very large majority. |

A large part of Stone constituency has been moved into Brereton’s Stoke South so if he holds on it won’t be a particular surprise |

There would need to be a massive swing to Labour in the exact demographic group they have struggled with over the last decade or so.. i.e older middle income home owners. |

Sunak here today. In front of a hugely enthused crowd at a pottery firm.

Probably counts as bad optics, to use the jargon.

Count yourself lucky. He is really a bad fit for a place like Stoke as well |

He's really grim. Don't think there's anything really there, he's just a head full of grievances. |

Think Gullis comes a poor third here. Reform will easily outrun him. 24% UKIP vote back in 2015. The Brexit Party saved their deposit here last time.

A former colleague of mine previously taught with him - the gist of what he said was that he was OK if you didn't start talking about politics

My sister lives here and has not received a single leaflet off anybody so far.
The only way you’d know an election was happening is a few posters in the window of the former Lab MP.
