Quite. But you have missed a cause for great celebration. No more room at the inn for Bill Cash
Trentham, Barlaston and Stone Communists ?
I doubt that somehow

All a bit twisted.
Did he ever do the course on megaphone holding?
He may have done the ear trumpet course by mistake.
Depends if the local party for go for youth over experience when nominating their candidateQuite. But you have missed a cause for great celebration. No more room at the inn for Bill Cash

Enjoying a drop of red.
That would be one way of putting it.

The new Stafford constituency will take a large part of the current Stone constituency, comprising the rural areas to the west and north of Stafford, including Haughton, Gnosall, High Offley, Bishop's Offley, Eccleshall, Slindon, Norton Bridge, Hilderstone, Sandon, Coton, Standon, Fradswell, Weston and Stowe-by-Chartley.
However, it will also lose some areas to the east of the town, to the new Lichfield constituency, including Shugborough Hall, the Haywoods, Colwich and Wolseley Bridge.
Overall, the likelihood is that it will be gaining Conservative voters.

At 55% the last time, with the current boundaries, it doesn't matter much.

It may do in the future. One of the biggest problems the Conservatives have is that their voters are dying off. They rely far too heavily on the over 50s, and especially the over 70s, for their votes and. despite this, they nearly lost the last election to a Labour party in disarray.
Jeremy Lefroy will be grateful for any help he can get.

Fuelled by a largely Tory press.
The best thing Labour can do is sort out their differences as quickly as possible.
The opinion polls clearly show that the electorate are still determined to vote for one of the two 'basket case' main parties, which hardly encourages either of them to change.

The press will remain loyal to those who provide for them.
The voters in their seventies were voting when we had the Wilson governments.
Labour will always have divisions, as all parties do, they just don't cover theirs up as well. There are people in the Labour party now who are well to the right of Ted Heath. Poor old Ted might have found himself purged if he had been a Labour member in the Kinnock/Blair days.
There are only two choices for most voters - the Liberals hardly count, and have shown themselves to be (at best) pointless in actually government.
