Partygate has taken a toll on Tory support in the ‘blue sea wall’, say East Sussex campaigners
“Normally, I can go either way, but I don’t like what’s going on in the Conservative party,” says Dawn Gibbs, standing on her doorstep in the seaside town of Worthing. “At the last general [election] I did vote Conservative, but I’m not going to vote for them this time.”
Asked if she means Partygate, she nods. A delighted Andy Whight, the Labour candidate for the ward in this Thursday’s local elections, tells her: “That’s what we’re picking up every day, all over this area.”
