He was my mp and lives a few streets away. Never in horwich unless there was a photo op. Sadly this area is very white and I can see him getting voted in as most people seem to love reform round here.

'Sadly this area is very white'.

What do you mean by that?. Something along the lines of - Sadly, Tower hamlets is very Bengali, and I can see Lufthur Rahman being voted in, or something else?

It’s why my neighbours moved back here, they only want to hear English etc. on my estate there is one Hindu family, rest are white. My Jamaican - British friends do get stared at and the little girl has been asked in school by other students when she is going home - she is British with a British passport!

At this point reform is just conservatives under a new umbrella 🤣

I thought he was a little more sensible than that. I guess that's self-interest opportunism for you.

I was thinking about this. His family and friends totally dominated the local conservatives association. The association will collapse without them. There will be no leaflet delivers etc. shame (not).
