The Tories are entrenched in Crewe and Nantwich. They should be able to do it in their sleep. For them to lose this by-election would be apocalyptic for them. They will end up fighting like cats and dogs amongst themselves if they lose. Leon - don’t let him fool you. The Tories are entrenched in Crewe and Nantwich.

Snigger! Such poverty of ambition! In the context of a by-election in the middle of a third term of office, 7,000 is wafer thin. Surely you don’t think it is big?

Delighted to hear the Tories are so nervous, but don’t try and pull a fast one here, sunshine. You’re having a giraffe.

I'm not convinced the Tories will win it, a real and likely victory would be for them to soften the seat up ready to take at the next GE.

A Conservative victory would humiliate the government and I sincerely hope this comes to pass.
