These cooling towers in Ironbridge will soon be gone

Early in 2020 these cooling towers are scheduled to be blown up and replaced by housing - while we need the houses these towers have been part of the landscape for nearly 100 years.

.The longstanding Brexiteer versus the defector to the LDs

Wokingham is one of the most intriguing battlegrounds at the GE where the veteran Brexiteer John Redwood is defending against the remain backing former CON MP from the neighbouring constituency, Philip Lee. Redwood has been MP there since 1987.

It was while Johnson was speaking that Phillip Lee crossed the floor of the House of Commons from the Tory benches to sit next to Jo Swinson.

Lee and Redwood, of course, have totally different views of the EU. At the referendum, Wokingham went 57% remain.

In Euro2019 the LDs came top in Wokingham with 33.45% with the Greens getting 11.3%. The Tories were estimated to have got 13.4% with BP at 29.4%. LAB was at 4.9%
