Definitely interested, along with Sunak losing his seat, little would please me more.
The ditch element is a long-running suggestion for a repository for conservative politicians from an NSC poster.

Labour candidate fighting Truss has the support of Feargal Sharkey (Who the musos among you will know as the ex-lead singer of the Undertones (one of my favourite Punk era bands and environmentalists know as a prominent clean rivers campaigner)

Can't beat a bit of Feargal. Top man.

How appropriate, I hope he plays You Little Thief on a marauding battle bus - she literally stole all our money and gave it to her mates.

In depth piece on what Truss is up against - SW Norfolk is going to be a very tight race with any swing to Labour here below the national average.

Liz Truss battles to save her skin at UK election
She struggled to defeat a lettuce and now Britain’s shortest serving prime minister is fighting for her political life in her Norfolk constituency.

Truss going would absolutely be my Portillo moment.
I reckon she’d join Reform quicker than you could say “morals of a sewer rat” if she loses though.

Truss 6/5 to be elected on Bet365. Seems good value tbh

Oh, no. Those two would be unbridled joy.
Rees-Mogg will be far too reasonable about it all and Hunt has been going for some time so it will be a bit 'meh'.
Truss, yes, that will be a glorious moment.

Please tell me an independent Lettuce is running? If not, it's such an opportunity missed.

It would far eclipse Portillo. She'd start rambling about deep state and anti nutjob coalitions conspiring against her after she'd lost. It would be something else.
And the failure of our pork markets and cheese exports.
The in-laws are up that way and one works for a local parish council. Since being PM she hardly turns to for important matters and when she does is whisked in / out by security, doesn’t make eye contact with anyone.
She also has been taking close counsel from a former now retired senior Tory who is in the area as she’s not in a good way allegedly.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see her gone based on small sample size of locals I met a month or so back

This is exactly my thinking tbh.
There is no way on earth she should get any more than 1 vote - and that's assuming even she can't be thick enough to f*** up voting for herself, which isn't a foregone conclusion by any means.

Very possibly - Or she’d form an alliance PopCon Party from her Popular Conservative mignons which include Fleece Smog, Petty Petal and Nigel Farage among other notables. Don’t care as long as she loses her seat and fcuks off out of this Constituency and takes her Thatcher blouses with her. She’s an even worse Constituency MP than she was Prime Minister (almost).
Either way, it would most definitely be my Portillo moment, in fact better than that.

It would be 100 times better than Portillo would it? He was a bit slimy and all, but not a bad bloke. Truss barely qualifies as human
