If you want to see the back of Houchen and cronies, it’s all to play for.

Yep - Lib Dems can help keep Ben in or help vote him out
Only 3 candidates now Greens have pulled out - and as the polls show it's a 2 horse race

Still seems like a long shot to me, hope I'm wrong.
BenT has all the levers to spin himself, including the local press, placards along the A19 from his land-owning cronies and plenty of dark money for leafleting and lies.
Most people will know little of the gifting of hundreds of millions of public money to a few unprincipled business sharks by an incompetent/corrupt grifter. All they will continue to see is the mirage of tens of thousands of jobs, a new hospital and flights to Benidorm (even though the public is paying for them).
Labour hasn't set the place alight with an alternative. Should have gone for BenT's fat, pasty throat.

I think the change was an attempt by the tories to give themselves a chance in the London mayoral election. Happily, Susan Hall is still going to be obliterated.

That's not why Sally dropped out.
She dropped out so as not to split the vote, something Simon Thornley really should be doing. He's already been selected to run in the GE.

Thats only what the Conservatives are saying, as Nobby would say my sources have definitely told me it was a finance issue.

It's what Sally herself told Leigh Jones from The Yorkshire Post
