    I think the Tories are at serious risk of overstretch, just like Labour were in 1997. They now hold areas such as Derbyshire & Staffordshire which are not by any stretch of the imagination naturally right-wing, nor is there any realistic prospect of their becoming so.

    I envisage that they will not hold onto these gains, especially if Cameron’s government proves unpopular.

    This is of course an opportunity for the LDs & others to gain at their expense if Labour don’t revive soon.
