I'm not aware of anything in Stafford though I did scroll past what looked like an online debate in Stone yesterday (Bill Cash et al) but didn't stop to look. Probably on Facebook.Supposedly there was a hustings-like event yesterday, anyone go to it?

If it's the one I'm thinking of it was organised in the name of the eco-mentalist, climate-emergency mob, so I gave it a wide berth.Supposedly there was a hustings-like event yesterday, anyone go to it?
Got a leaflet through my door today promoting the 'Liberal Party.' No not Jo Swinson's mob, but, and I quote: 'The original party of David Penhaligan, Lloyd George and William E. Gladstone.'
MY BRAIN HURTS !!!
Strange they didn't mention famous dog-lover Jeremy Thorpe instead.The Liberal party are the rump who didn't like the merger with the Soc Dems and stayed as an independent group. David Penhaligan threw me but apparently he was the Liberal MP for Truro in the 1970s & 80s.
And I've had a few more today.
Firstly a Labour leaflet presumably pushed through the letterbox by one of Jeremy's little elves. And now the postman's delivered some more, all personally addressed - Labour leaflets for me and my daughter and a Tory one for my better half (what do they know?!??).
Still no sign of anything from the also-rans.
Don't forget Europe, it'll all be their fault.They are all also rans
And when the Tories win, and the real pain begins, it won't be you Conservative voters who will admit it's your fault for getting them a majority to destroy, no way, it'll be blame everyone and anyone and anything else, the immigrants, the unions, single parents, the sick, all those scroungers
Enjoy your victory people
Your time has come
Well, one week from today we'll know for sure. (I must tidy up my nuclear hardened bunker and get in some more bacofoil hats … )
Easy, Tiger. Don't go tarring all us Conservative voters with the same brush. (I wouldn't, for example, dream of saying all Labour voters were anti-semitic racists, though it's obviously a bigger problem than they care to admit given that, over 3 years since the Chakrabati report, it's one they've still not solved or even look like solving. What chance of fixing the economy when Jezza can't even etc etc )They are all also rans

Yes, I accept my share of any fault, as indeed I did around this time last year while sat in my hospital bed thinking "Oh, why did I vote Tory? I'm sure that had I voted Labour my stay would have been more comfortable." Similarly when I ring my local clinic for an appointment and am told I'll have to wait a fortnight (!). "Deal with it, Tory - you voted for it." And I certainly wouldn't go blaming the groups you've listed. That's one for "Daily Mail readers" and, in the case of immigrants, those Leave voters in notionally Labour constituences, like in the Welsh valleys.
I go into most elections aware that there are trade-offs. I don't see us as "turkeys voting for Christmas" but more as losers on the swings but gainers on the roundabouts (but grumbling about those swings as we stand on the train on our daily commute). Hopefully I'll get to spend more time on the roundabouts than the swings.
Anyway, I don't see it as an automatic victory for the Tories. There's a week to go, and, as someone once said, a week's a long time in politics.
Don't forget Europe, it'll all be their fault.
