Dear @theresa_may, you asked for ideas so I've sent you our manifesto.

Tony Blair in his pomp would have probably taken a seat like this in a by election but would Corbyn? Paddy Power have a market up on a theoretical Newton Abbot by election were Ann Marie Morris resign following her use of the n word. I’m not playing this market, I suspect all stakes will become an interest free loan to Paddy Power for nearly six month and I’ve got better things to do with my money. But given Mrs…
