It was Amanda Hampsey, the Tory candidate hereabouts (hereabouts looks nothing like this pic), which even many locals consider the back of beyond. Conscientiousness or desperation? Hampsey was elected as a councillor last year, which passed me by, and evidently drew the short straw.
She handed my wife a leaflet. My wife handed it right back with a "Thanks." That might not be the worst reception she receives on her rounds. Hamsey's on the left in the pic above. On the right is Lisa Cameron, who in an unlikely and probably ill-advised career move defected as an MP from the SNP to the Tories last autumn after a lengthy falling out with the party leadership, her party colleagues and her own constituency party, which deselected her.
Her defection was claimed to have been encouraged by Tory Secretary of State Alister Jack and ""masterminded" by Rishi Sunak himself. If its ripples escaped you, that can be forgiven as I'd pretty much forgotten about it and her myself until she popped up in this photo opportunity.
