Now that The Sun has declared for Labour and the Tories are to be supported only by the two papers of the hard-right (Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph), it looks as if they can look forward to enjoying a repeat of their miserable experience of 1997.

Given that 75% of the Tory party membership is apparently now based south of a line between Bristol and the Wash, and is a party principally of southern England, is it not time that the Knutsford Guardian started to present more positive reportage of the EU for the thousands of people who live in this constituency and who are Europhiles?
