        Well I agree. I don't they're official, and even if they are they certainly don't represent a lot of us pro-tory in Bath. Or BH I'd imagine.

      More dignified in defeat than you have ever been. You failed your Remain constituents and this is the result.

        Your nastiness towards securing EU citizens rights backfired badly in a pro-EU Bath. Well done Bath.

        There was a proEU demo opposite his office (maybe 30 of us); all legitimate not blocking pavement. He wouldn't speak to us and called police
