She deserves her own thread to track her campaign such is the infamy of the Lettuce that ruled Westminster for 50 days.
In recent months she has been back in her Constituency and I’ve seen her about town making herself visible to any one that is interested. Much of the interest up here in her South West Norfolk seat seems to be one of macabre interest - a ringside seat to watch the final ‘good riddance’ of an MP that has done little to woo her Constituents since she has had her eye on bigger and better things at Westminster. She is very unpopular but the Tories are not, unfortunately, in this bastion of right wing, pro-Brexit, anti-immigration neighbourhood. UKIP, now Reform, still very much relevant as vast areas of agricultural land owned by the landed gentry, also attract migrant workers to put food on the table for the rest of us.
There is a danger that the Greens and Libs will split the vote from Labour and Truss is also being contested by a popular ex-Tory who is standing as an Independent - that could work for us and split the Tory vote but de-seating any Conservative in Norfolk is an uphill battle - Labour will have its work cut out.
Not a good start
