Boris Johnson has been reportedly "airbrushed" from the Conservatives' by-election campaign literature, with leaflets and online advertisements not mentioning the Prime Minister. A six-page pamphlet distributed by Helen Hurford, the Tory candidate in Tiverton and Honiton, failed to mention the Conservative Party until the fourth page and made no references to Mr Johnson. Another pamphlet distributed by Nadeem Ahmed, the party's candidate in Wakefield, also included no references to the Prime Minister or photographs of him. Tory MPs have warned that activists in other Conservative-held seats are refusing to campaign for the party, due to disaffection with its leadership. Half a dozen Facebook advertisements disseminated by Ms Hurford make no mention of the Conservatives or the party's leader, beyond the brief official notice declaring the Tories as the source of funding. In others, the party's name appears briefly on the screen at the beginning and end of video clips in which Ms Hurford focused entirely on local issues ahead of this week's by-election. Meanwhile, asked by The Telegraph whether she identified as a Boris Johnson Conservative, Ms Hurford said: "I’m a Helen Hurford Conservative and I will do what's right when it's right." Facebook advertisements issued by the Conservatives in Wakefield, where the party faces another by-election on Thursday, focus on attacking the Labour candidate for not being a local resident, rather than Tory policies. Conservative brand 'toxic' under Boris Johnson ... The apparent downplaying of Ms Hurford's Conservative credentials prompted claims by opposition parties that the party's brand had become electorally "toxic" under Mr Johnson's leadership. One backbencher said: "I have had branch chairmen quit and newsletter deliverers refuse to come out. People have also told me they’re not going to host fundraising events anymore, which is a fundamental problem. A minister added: "People are not wild at the moment about knocking doors and delivering leaflets. I suspect we are losing members. They are very disillusioned." A third Conservative MP said: "Many of my activists, donors and other people connected to my campaign were very concerned about the events that were alleged to have taken place in Downing Street and the Sue Gray report. "People who have delivered leaflets or donated in the past have stepped back or said they are not prepared to deliver or donate under the current regime." Since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, parliamentary candidates have generally flaunted photographs of themselves with the prime minister of the day, starting with David Cameron. However, campaign literature seen by this newspaper from both Tiverton and Honiton and Wakefield contains no such images. By contrast the Liberal Democrats, mounting a bid to overturn the 24,239 majority enjoyed by Neil Parish - the Conservative MP who resigned after watching pornography in the House of Commons - HAVE used pictures of Mr Johnson in their leaflets. The party hopes that disaffection with the Government will work in its favour. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/06/19/boris-johnson-airbrushed-tory-by-election-campaign-leaflets/The final paragraph made me smile.

Are they really suggesting that Princess Nut Nuts would ‘work under’ Johnson for £100k pa? Surely nobody would ‘work under’ Johnson, FO, for as little as that? How much did the American pole dancing ‘IT’ specialist get? I wonder if the PM’s Ethics Adviser thinks that trying to get your mistress a job that reports directly to you at £100k pa is a breach of the Ministerial Code? If she had been given that job perhaps she could have paid for the gold wall paper instead of having to ask for donations through a ‘blind trust’ or from Lord Brownnose.

I would not use toilet paper with Corbyns name on it,gifted Boris the election. What gifted Johnson the election was the back stabbing wanker starmer and his snide anti brexit bullshit I think there were two factors - Corbyn and Brexit. Starmer, as you say, was the man behind the latter. You can see he has learned from that experience - in so much as he has kicked Corbyn out of the Labour Party and never uses the B word. So, he’s hoping that clears the deck for him.

Story reported in full in february in Mail as part of a book serialisation so I imagine the Times is just embarassed by a journalist passing off a 4 month old story as an exclusive and or not paying the serialisation fee.

That’s a sign of a delusional obsessive. Have you ever heard the expression “Less is More”? You should try it.
