Does your swamp need draining?

These will be the top Brexit battlegrounds next GE.

Let's have a look at a few...........

Boston & Skeg.

@mattwarman greatly increased his majority in 2017 and seems to have renounced his remaining ways. One of only 160 MPs to vote Aye to leaving without a deal last week.

Verdict: Respects his constituents.👍

Walsall North.

The good people of Walsall North rightly booted out David Winnick in 2017 for his treasonous remoaning ways and replaced him with @EddieHughes4WN

Eddie is an ERG member and a staunch patriotic Brit.

Verdict: 👍Hope he increases his majority next time.

Basildon South & Thurrock East:
Castle Point:

Both leavers, @Metcalfe_SBET and @RebeccaHarrisMP rewarded in 2017 with a greatly increased majority

👍

(Kingston upon) Hull East:

Remainer Karl Turner increased his majority in 2017. 👎

Is the gap too big? Will Labour leavers vote on Brexit rather than Party lines?

I fear this will be too big a mountain to climb.

Stoke-on-Trent North:

Ruth Smeeth recently resigned from the Labour front bench to vote against a 2nd referendum & voted against delaying A50.

But she did vote against a no deal Brexit last week

Verdict: respects her constituents because she has to. But no Brexiteer,

Doncaster North

Ha! Ed Milliband! 'Peoples vote' champion, in a 72% Leave constituency.

Come on Doncaster you can do better than this!

Stick a red roseate on a Donkey territory unfortunately

👎👎👎

Great Yarmouth

Tory party Chairman, @BrandonLewis.

Is he The Swamp personified?
Is he part of the cabal responsible for Mays deal?

Voted against leaving without a deal 👎

Pretty sure a Brexit alternative would get a lot of support here

Which will let Labour in. 👎

Dudley North

Wow! @IanAustinMP had his 11% majority slashed to just 22 votes!

One of the good guys. Now an independent MP. Resigned from Labour over Antisemitism. Strong Brexit credentials. 👍

Most likely Tories will win this seat next GE, if they field a strong Leaver.

Great Grimsby

Melanie Onn, a remainer at heart, but to her credit resigned from the front bench to vote against a 2nd Ref. probably with her eye on her fairly weak majority.

No Corbynista, more of a Guardianista type.

Tories could take this seat with a strong brexiteer.

South Holland & The Deepings

Ultra conservative Sir John Hayes, ERG member and "Hang 'em!" advocate.

Represents his Leave constituents very admirably 👍

Perhaps best of all, he triggers Lefties!👍

Mansfield

The good people of Mansfield rightly booted out Labour MP Alan Meale in 2017 for his treasonous remoaning ways and replaced him with @bbradleymp

Ben is an ERG member and voted to leave with no deal.👍

But also for Mays deal.👎

I hope that doesn't go against him.

Stoke South

The good people of Stoke South rightly booted out Labour MP Robert Flello in 2017 for his treasonous remoaning ways and replaced him with Jack Brereton.

Jack is not yet old enough to have a twitter account.

Talks a good Brexit and votes as he's told.

Precarious.

Barnsley East

Michael Dugher stood down in the 2017 and was replaced by 13 year old Stephanie Peacock

With her majority she can do what she wants but to her credit resigned from the front bench to oppose a 2nd ref.

Verdict: Job for life. Party bigger than Brexit in Barnsley

Ashfield

With a slim majority Remain campaigner Gloria De Piero knows she has to virtue like hell on Brexit to keep her job.

Working class socialist, easy on the eye and media savvy, she's one of Labour's golden girls.

Vote against a 2nd ref. But is that enough?

Dudley South

Mike Wood is a brexiteer ERG member. Voted last week to keep the option of no deal 👍 but Supported May's deal. 👎

Safe seat. Some leavers will feel he sold out but on the whole will support.

Bolsover

The Beast of Bolsover, Dennis Skinner is old school Labour and a dedicated Eurosceptic.

He is a legend. Leave him alone.

But when he finally retires, this seat is up for grabs.

The good people of Bolsover won't take kindly to some SJW remainer straight out of Uni!

Thurrock

Jackie Doyle-Price supported remain in 2016 👎 but is an ERG member👍 & voted last week for a no deal brexit 👍

Tiny majority in 2017 with UKIP in a strong 3rd.

Verdict: A strong Brexit/UKIP challenge could let Labour in.

Clacton

Giles Watling gained the seat in 2017 from UKIP's Douglas Carswell who did not stand.

Voted last week for Mays deal 👎 but for leaving with no deal 👍

Don't think Brexit is his passion. But he's safe.

Dagenham & Rainham

Remainer at heart Jon Cruddas, last week voted against leaving with no deal 👎 For a customs union 👎 but against a 2nd ref. 👍

The good people of D&R will need to hold their noses and vote Tory if they want a more Brexit committed representative.

Hartlepool

Mike Hill replaced Iain Wright for Labour & won the seat in 2017.

Virtue signals to his leave constituents but Brexit is not his passion.

A passionate local Brexiteer Tory could take this seat, but a strong UKIP challenge would split the vote and keep him safe.

Hornchurch & Upminster

Julia Lopez nee Dockerill was a new candidate and won 2017 with a big majority.

ERG member and one of the 34 Tories who voted against May's deal last week, she is a Staunch Brexiteer. 👍👍👍

Verdict: More like her please.

Louth & Horncastle

Low profile Victoria Atkins one of only 28 MPs to vote against all indicative votes last week, it's hard to know what she stands for, certainly not leaving on WTO.

Strong supporter of Mays deal. 👎

Not ERG.

Job for life in this safe seat.

Cambridgeshire North East

Stephen Barclay, Brexit Minister, Soft Leaver. May toadie.

Strangely, abstained in all indicative votes last week, maybe to avoid being pinned to a plan other than May's deal.

Verdict: This swamp will not be drainable.

Normanton, Pontefract & Castleford

Sour faced, remoaning Yvette Cooper, Champion of the 2nd Ref.

Voted for a 2nd ref. Abstained from giving MPs a vote on remain vs Mays deal

Verdict: 70% voted to leave. They have the power to get rid of Cooper.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Oops! Wrong Milliband in Guardian article.
