'Shocking' potholes in the Tory stronghold that's not looking very strong

To the annoyance of many, Rishi Sunak called a general election knowing that the campaign would coincide with the Euros. For those watching the games, 1966 is probably a date etched onto the brain as the last time that England's men last won a major tournament.

Tony Carter, 34, a software developer living in West Bridgford, said: "I'm not a Tory, sorry to disappoint you if that's what you were expecting because I know plenty are around here." Suffice to say that Mr Carter has made his mind up and will be backing Labour on July 4, adding: "I think it's important to vote because a lot of the older generation will still be backing the Tories.

Someone who will be staying loyal is lifelong Conservative voter, Glyn Johnson, 62, from Radcliffe on Trent, who said: "I'm from a working-class background and I think the Conservatives are still suffering from a lot of the coronavirus stuff. I hope that people don't just go out and vote to punish the Conservatives.

Liberal Democrat candidate Greg Webb blamed Conservative underfunding for the issue, saying: "We're just ending up with maintenance backlogs, we're ending up with horrendously potholed roads. They almost feel like a rollercoaster to drive over when you go down some of them.
