Another General Election came round, and Sheffield Labour needed a disposable candidate - why burn out a good candidate on an unwinnable seat? Jared got picked - he was never meant to win, there was no way he could. And then he did. (We could of course say similarly witty things about Blue rosettes, Tories and North Yorkshire/Shropshire/etc) Edited October 11, 2023 by ads36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Foster Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 It was quite clear that the Labour vote in Hallam had been increasing in the years up to 2017 and was a question of when not if they'd take it. If indeed they put this clown forward as their candidate because they thought they had no chance of winning then it would seem they were somewhat ignorant to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
