Rats, ship.

"The Tory share of the vote in the City of Chester by-election slumped to only 22.4%.

Tory MPs in red wall seats in the north of England will be even more despondent about their prospects at the next general election after this crushing defeat.

Although we should remember that the much-despised Johnson is a notorious liar and has repeatedly lost his jobs for it.

It's one of those situations that sometimes occurs in politics, especially when the governing party has been in for 10+ years. It's time for a change, and unless Labour royally f*** things up, it's surely theirs for the taking two years from now?

Dehenna Davison, who was elected as Bishop Auckland's first ever Conservative MP in 2019 under former prime minister Boris Johnson, has announced she intends to stand down at the next election.

The Levelling Up minister, regarded by many as a rising star in the Tory Party, said she now wanted to devote more time to "life outside politics - mainly to my family".

So why is she a rat ??

All the Labour names are simply retiring. Standard yearly attrition. The Tory names fleeing the ship are shockers. Big names in politics had enough of the populist bullshít that has infected a greedy, rotten political party.
Good riddance.

Also they don't want to waste the next ten years with no chance of getting a top job.
