They just don’t have enough reasonable people to fill every seat they need to contest, so end up picking loons and bigots to make up the numbers. Plus they try to pick young people to look like a modern dynamic party, but anyone that age willing to be a paid-up Tory isn’t going to be very normal. I hope this is a sign that they’re fucked long term.

Tory candidate suspended over war claims

I mean, who hasn't accidentally mistaken 11 years of playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare for 12 years in the para's?!

The sad thing is their selfish voters won't be reading these things. They will be more worried about their rental properties and private school fees.

You'd have to be a special kind of sad bastard to stand as the tory candidate in a ward where the tories don't stand a fart's chance in a hurricane. And there must be a lot of wards in that category, so a lot of barrels to scrape.

They were saying this when I was a teenager and I'm 42 The Tories have got less and less normal (in a bad way) but they're still getting votes.

Probably some good networking opportunities in being a Tory candidate of any kind though, compared to what you could get otherwise.

One of the local candidates in my borough is a Rees-Mogg type student. He only stood because he was assured he stood absolutely no chance of being elected.

Off to hopefully vote them out in a minute.

Tories 'had' a safe seat in my council but that has been eroded somewhat over recent years. Not expecting enough of a swing to Labour but at least hope the swing continues enough.

Breast cancer screening blunder was flagged up by NHS officials in 2017

The Mirror has learned that officials from at least three NHS trusts raised concerns with Public Health England in 2017 that some women may not have been getting invitations.

But it was not until Wednesday this week that the Government made the scandal public.

The revelation will raise questions about whether the Government acted quickly enough following the alerts.
