The latest campaign gimmick from my MP for Stockton South - Matt Vickers

[BoroFur]

Just through my letterbox.

Whatever you do, don't mention you're a Tory

 

[Jedi boro]

Yes someone posted it last week.

So he’s green now is he.

 

[junos_boots]

Come on be fair he has got a blue polo shirt on

He's probably excluded his party and their branding knowing that its important information and that a certain section of the population wouldn't read the leaflet if it had party colours on it.

It's not a political leaflet so the party branding is irrelevant.

Probably should've left out the political comments on it then if it's not political.

Hi Matt, hope you have a terrible weekend!

a perfect shy Tory candidate for your average shy Tory voter

I missed the bit at the bottom!

You could argue that the people the leaflet is aimed at are not generally the party he represents... so i would see sending the leaflet in neutral colours as a genuine attempt at making sure that as many people as possible read the information, rather than trying to present it as "Our party have provided a rebate for you".

But then again I'm not as partisan as some on here, so I'm able to look at things objectively and not be toxic about everything related to the Tories. I wonder who paid for the leaflets?

Umm, you also missed the big green quotation blaming the cost of living on high global energy costs and Ukraine, this is worded intentionally to absolve his party/himself of blame and therefore political.

There are many other reasons for the cost of living crisis, namely 12 years of crippling austerity and Brexit.

No matter how you look at it, this leaflet is designed to distance himself from the Tories and Boris Johnson which is also very much political as the brands are toxic.

 

[Chris_Boro]

Why is he sending out leaflets now?

The information on it is probably helpful to some, don't really have any problem with him using leaflets as a way to pass on information some constituents may not know.

But it has been done in a very deliberate way to distance himself from the party and probably in way to ensure loads of people who may need the information don't just immediately throw it in the bin.

You and your partisan outlook

FFS I almost spat my drink out reading that

 

[BiggEggo]

Greenwashing at its very best. Plainly embarrassed to be a Tory these days. TBF Who wouldn't be?

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

This guy is completely in the pocket of Boris.. voted to save him during the no confidence vote and was rewarded handsomely…

He voted for his own skin not in the best interests of his constituents… he’s there to represent all of us not just those that voted for him… even some of them want Boris out..,

 

[Uwefuchs]

Get him out at the next General election, the same goes for the likes of Simon Clarke and Jacob Young. Spineless b***ds who are only concerned about themselves and couldn't give a toss about the country or their constituents.

[Glover_elbow]

One of my neighbours delivers all the conservative leaflets in the area. I don't know if it's a coincidence but he's an absolute prìck

 

[Muttley]

That leaflet is propaganda disguised as a help leaflet. Yet it does not contain any help for people. For example telling them how to move their money to avoid paying tax, or yet how to apply for help in heating your house or perhaps how to encourage sponsorship for a treehouse for your kids. Or how to keep embarrassing stories out of the press.

I would like to know who paid for it and paid for the distribution of it?
