Many of us will remember when Michael Portillo, a so-called Tory “big beast”, lost his “safe” seat in the 1997 general election.
So which big names are going to lose their seats this year? Just pick five from the current cabinet or former cabinet members and the winner gets the prestigious Klopptimist “I’m not a Tory, honest” Trophy.
My quintet:
Grant Shapps
Alex Chalk
Liz Truss
Jeremy Hunt
Mark Harper
I would also love to see Badenoch, Cruella, Notso and Mordaunt lose their seats, but don’t think it’ll happen.
Just reading from the list of potential losses and it’s simply mind-blowing to see how many recognisable names could be swept away. I just don’t know where to start with my five names to list…
Although this list is of current MPs, many of whom aren’t standing.
I know. He is my local MP and unfortunately I have to set my eyes on him somewhat regularly. If enough people vote tactically here then Labour should comfortably win.
