The UK political landscape is in turmoil as parties scramble to find candidates for the upcoming general election. The Conservative Party is facing a significant challenge, with reports indicating they still need to fill 190 candidate positions. In contrast, the Labour Party has only 13 candidates left to select, highlighting the disparity in preparedness between the two major parties.
Just inπ₯ According to reports Labour still has to fill 13 MP candidate positions. The Tories need to fill a whopping 190 up and down the country. Why call an election when not ready unless you are intentionally trying to LOSE IT like Sunak is! https://t.co/wJq2fb43xa
π¨ NEW: Labour have 13 candidates left to select for the general election - the Tories have 190 [@patrickkmaguire]
Understand Labour have only 13 candidates left to select β Tories still missing around 190
π΄I reckon Labour have just 55 seats left to select: 9 seats now hold; 11 winnable (up to 250 maj); 34 hopeless where candidate agrees to campaign elsewhere on polling day. Maybe fewer as perhaps I've missed some. But they'll also rise with more retirements & executions.
