Is the tory candidate really suffering as a result. It will confirm the fear of tory mps that the effect of the reform party is to really reduce their chances and increase labour s chances, so if it is replicated on scale in a General Election it could have quite a devastating effect in terms of the type of loss of the tories have, so this result will not provide much comfort, particularly because there are problems that nigel farage might say he is taking a more active role in the party, something tories have also feared, for giving it more momentum.

As last week’s local election results were trickling in I started (because I know how to have a good time) jotting down a non-exhaustive list of all the ways in which the UK appears to be worse off than it was 14 years ago. The resultant catalogue was worryingly long, worryingly easy to write and worryingly hard to edit down into the space designated for this column.
The results of last week’s local elections were depressingly predictable. With the thankful exception of Ben Houchen’s victory in Tees Valley, my party took a drubbing. Whether or not these results prove to be an accurate prediction for the general election, we must face the fact that the Conservative Party has gone from one of its best to one of its worst local election results in just four years.
