Down-and-out U.K. coastal town looks set to elect Trump ally Nigel Farage
Keir Starmer’s center-left Labour Party is on track to oust the Conservatives from government. But in down-and-out Clacton-on-Sea, voters look set to opt for Nigel Farage.

Could replace this thinking with any cac from the south.

Labour take a Conservative seat that the Tories have held since 1885
Starmer calculated he wanted more center and center right folks to vote for him. These are likely acceptable losses to him, but the Corbyn one will sting.
Same thing would have happened if he screwed over Dianne Abbot.

Voting turnout apparently the lowest ever

The calculation made, is that it's worth losing a few seats if it means not scaring of traditional labour voters in the red walll and it looks to be the right calculation.
Yeah was speaking to my friends in Bristol, this was on the cards.
Bristol Central is pretty Left wing
It reminds me of the 2022 midterms here
Dems weren’t strong in blue states but held up well in competitive seats
Labour are seeing the left send a message but doing well in competitive areas. Starmer correctly focused on Scotland
They better watch this Farage character. He is a bullshytter like Trump but parades himself as being for the ordinary person. Something tells me he got in there to be an agent of chaos for his own political fortune.
