Party have been forced to apologise after a leaked memo suggested Tory ministers and MPs have failed to “get behind” campaigning and have refused to knock on doors., Conservative staff accused MPs of focusing too much on ministerial business in a document emailed to party MPs by a senior campaigning figure at Conservative Campaign Headquarters .
The email was later recalled but the “key theme” identified was that candidates had failed to “get behind” the campaign, with some on holiday or refusing to knock on doors.Speaking to The Times, one MP accused CCHQ of “rank incompetence” in sending out the comments while another added: “Great way to start a campaign, piss everyone in marginal seats off in the first week.
Nature minister Rebecca Pow was accused by campaigning staff of spending too much time on “ministerial business” while MP for Wrexham Sarah Atherton was accused of “refusing to engage”. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
