Tories struggle to find local election candidates | Left Foot Forward

The Tory rosette: but who’s going to bother wearing it in the campaign period before the May local elections?

Oh dear. How sad…

The situation is so dire for the Conservative Party, that it’s now struggling to recruit enough candidates for the May local elections, including in the ‘Tory shires’, with party activists worried they face a hammering.

The Tory brand is so damaged, according to party members, that it’s proving a challenge to get even ‘paper candidates’ with people ‘just not coming forward’, the I reports.

It comes as the Tories trail Labour by 21 points in the polls and Rishi Sunak struggles to govern his disunited party, which continues to deal with scandals, sleaze and allegations of corruption.

Never mind!
