Damning mood in Boris Johnson’s old constituency ahead of by-election

“We went to the local Conservative Party Association to talk to loyal members but we couldn’t find any.”

Ben Kentish headed down to the bellwether constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip ahead of Thursday’s by-election. Based on the opinions of the people he spoke to there, it could be a tough task for the Conservatives to hold the seat.

Bet the government is annoyed people are rightfully blaming them for the state of the NHS and not overworked staff

"We went to the local Conservative Association to talk to loyal conservative supporters. But we couldn't find any." 😂😂😂

Bojo and his friends have done irreparable damage to this country.

32 hours and a full time degree is genuinely such a hard task, I don't envy them at all and just hope they can get the grades to pass

[robertlee]

Sooner we get rid of the scumbags the better

I think it’s a damning indictment on the population of this country that after thirteen years of Tory misery that there are any prepared to to vote for them. That there are so many is tragic.

Some people must live in another reality. Under Labour the nhs had the highest satisfaction and lowest waiting times. After 13 years of Tory rule it's the highest waiting and lowest satisfaction. The hospitals are falling apart, half the staff have been forced to leave, and the remaining staff are STILL leaving. What aren't they seeing?!

[StOrMmaGiiKz]

Knowing the way the people are in this country easily led to certain doom they’ll still vote Tory regardless

[barrymcguinness]

What a shame I hope the Tory voters are proud of themselves for at the end of the day it is them that are as much to blame for voting in the Tories in the first place and that's a fact no ifs no buts

[richardhowlett]

That says it all, no customers at the local conservative club. Even they can't afford to go there now!

[bned]

LBC, please do more of this sort of thing. You're not just a radio station now. You need to do boots on ground stuff like this. Thanks Ben Kentish, top job.

" POLITICIANS NEVER WORK THERE TAILS OFF"😏🙄🤣, never a truer word spoken in jest😂.

If Uxbridge goes to Tory, I’ll give up all hope that humanity can move on and evolve.

[huwzebediahthomas]

Tories are Toast
How is that for a three word slogan, Rishi?

[siwhite]

This type of video is defo what we need more and more ben too lol

The bloke with the bandage on his arm saying, outside a hospital, that if you believe what labour are saying that the NHS is how it is because of 13 years of Tory misrule, and apparently that’s an easy stone to throw, surprised me. I thought he’d have his head bandaged, after his FRONTAL LOBOTOMY!!

[rowleybirkin]

If after 13 years of this shower we don’t vote them out as a country, we’re beyond hope.

[MrLaking]

funny how all the torie areas are fed up because it's hitting them as well if it was just the labour areas they wouldn't be bothered

[tgc]

The fact that anyone from the outset saw BJ as competent baffles me, they’re the ones that needs their heads examined, BJ has not changed as long as he has been in public life and it’s evident who he and his character are!!

[ianbrook]

Why don't they call this cost-of-living-crisis what it actually is: Super-inflation!
