‘They need to be booted out’: Voters in Sunak’s Yorkshire seat give their verdict

PM is still expected to win Richmond and Northallerton for the Tories - but it could be close, say his constituents

While few would suggest that the party that puts up the most campaign materials will always win an election, posters are nonetheless a reasonable indication of who enjoys the most support locally - and in Rishi Sunak's North Yorkshire constituency they are conspicuously absent.

In previous elections, Conservative placards have lined the network of A-roads that span Richmond and Northallerton like rows of dominoes. But this week there are none to be seen - and in Richmond itself there is a smattering of Labour and Liberal Democrat posters.
