Judging by the clips of tonight's Question Time, the Tories are still taking a hammering from the audience on a variety of subjects.
I get the impression that the Daily Mail, the Telegraph and GB News are going on a solo run every time they big them up....there is evidently a lot of anger towards them out there.
I see that the Tories have finally got rid of Andrew Bridgen (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-65402195), so maybe there is a limit?
I've to move house on the Sunday. Thanks for that, C.
Simon Jones, chairman of the Norwich Conservatives, described it as a "dreadful mistake".
He said the leaflets were provided by Conservative Central Headquarters, adding: "I guess someone hadn't updated it."
Could just be an honest mistake by an honest party. But the timing is was close to the deadline.

Register by 11:59pm on 28 April to vote in the local government elections in Northern Ireland on 18 May.
You can no longer register to vote in the elections in England on 4 May. You can still register for future elections.
That video clip showed Mogg as an over-bearing interviewer who refused to allow his guest say anything without shouting them down - such ignorance. This from a person who pretends to be well mannered. However, he showed his ignorance when he lay down on the front benches of the HoC showing disdain for the proceedings.
What an ignorant oaf!
Barely anyone watches it. I don't think this is an issue.
A good seeing to? Who are these people that want to see idiotic politicians a good seeing to? Whatever that means.
It's this sort of voyeurism that has led to the more extreme media platforms like Fox News and GB News.
One's opinion of Reese Mogg will be set in stone for 99% of people aware of him; sharing videos like this aren't going to swing mindsets - They're to enjoy the man getting a good seeing to. And given GB News can't buy an audience I'd not fear about it getting publicity either. it's sucking fumes as it winds up the small viewership who want to get angry about pronouns and climate collapse.
Though the likes of Reese Mogg are made of Teflon; no amount of invective, considered or emotive, is going to sway him. Even this video shows no contrition, no flicker of weakness - only the classical English superiority complex throughout.
But we already know that. And the sharing of videos of these idiots doesn't expose them - it gives them more oxygen and more popularity.
What about all the people who are not aware of it ?
I really don't think people should give it free advertising.
Nor do I. Anyone aware of it knows what it is at this point.
I don't really see how a clip of someone, on one of the stations own shows, undermining the stations bullshit 'anti-woke' raison d'etre helps legitimize GBNews.
Needless to say, Purkiss' robust debate with Reese-Mogg had the right-leaning crying into their corn flakes; funny how those who scream loudest about Woke Culture or those wussy Gen Zs, especially given that was the supposed mandate of GB News, are the ones most brittle and incapable of the smallest amount of debate.
I was talking about the guy who did retweet them not yourself.
Anyone except the willfully blind know he is a clown. Stuff like this won't move the needle on things like the culture wars but does help legitimize GBNews the same way having Farage on Question Time every second week worked.
It isn't retweeting them though....I am retweeting someone who posted a clip directly which shows them up for the muppets they are. If it trends and more people see what a clown Rees Mogg is...good.
It seems like when something is trending on Twitter it's often people against the hashtagged person/idea/situation. It's like half of Twitter is too stupid to understand how Twitter works.
If I want to promote let's say the "Breezy1985 car free city" policy by posting it on Twitter. It won't be green activists and cyclists that will have me trending no.1 it will be all the red faced, hate filled posters screaming at me.
CA/IMHO operates the same way.
I don't think people should be retweeting GBNews if they are not supporters.
I think we've heard the same theory. It's a way for Americans to justify their partisan media by showing that regulation doesn't work.
I've heard an interesting theory that the channel exists in order to get clips from the shows out onto social media and to promote the agenda of the owners / backers. This is the real aim, manipulation of social media.
Naw it is important for people to see Rees Mogg being shown up as the absolute clown he is and I doubt that many are seeing it live.
That was brilliant. Rees-Mogg was the sort of person that, were he alive at the time, would have been implementing nonsense economic policies while the Irish died by the hundreds of thousands in the mid-nineteenth century.
A rather transparent attempt at shutting down criticism of the British right.
GB News doesn't exist to draw viewers. It exists to make the case to Americans that morally bankrupt media corporations are the norm everywhere by sharing short clips of grifters like Neil Oliver and Nigel Farage.
Does actually suggest technical incompetence.
But regardless, how could what she sent have been changed much by it only being a draft?
Shocking.
Has there ever been a politician who has sounded sincere with these excuses.
Starting to look like her excuse that it was a draft sent mistakenly was a complete lie as she sent the exact same letter to the observer twice within the space of a few hours
This is BRILLIANT
I'm going to bed with such a big smile on my face
The tweeter doesn't watch GB News but promotes it and gives widespread attention to Mogg and GB News.
The Fox News effect. People who don't like it talking about it making it more famous than it actually is.
Rees-Mogg absolutely destroyed...you love to see it.
The important thing is they're not middle-class lefty activist types, they really do know what's best for the true British working class.
With their plan to export their asylum seekers to Rwanda, surely they can organise to get UK citizens out of Sudan. This account from Leila Latif on how they got no help is very alarming. This is what you get when you have idiots in charge.
No because I think she actually believes that which is the exact opposite of what was just said.
You mean like Diane Abbot telling her constituents that black people suffer more racism than everyone else?
