🔵I reckon there are at least 17 currently Conservative seats which have yet to pick a candidate, as follows with safest rankings): Ashfield (295th safest) Basildon & Billericay (43) Bognor Regis & Littlehampton (50) Chatham & Aylesford (76) Great Yarmouth (82nd safest). 1/3
Indeed. There has only ever been one set of local elections* later in a government’s term of office and those were in spring 1964. * Not counting those taking place on the same day as the GE like 2010 and 1997.
Ahead of the local elections Rishi Sunak tells Sky News "elections for incumbent governments are always difficult mid-term". This is not "mid-term" it's almost end-of-term.
