Liz Truss has a majority of 26,000 in her South West Norfolk seat. She has said (Sunday Times 2nd June) that she is focused on winning the seat at the Election on local issues and has no ambition to return to Downing St. That doesnt quite fit with the extensive publicity her political memoir has received where she styles herself as the saviour of Western civilisation.
There are two other right-wing candidates James Bagge a former Tory standing on an anti-Truss platform, who usually describes himself as the ‘Turnip Taliban’ and Toby McKenzie for Reform.
With the potential for a split vote on the right there could be a, very welcome, Labour surprise here.The candidate Terry Jermy has a beard.
The final large scale Survation MRP poll released on 2nd July shows the following
Labour 34.7%
Tory 30.0%
Reform 15.1%
