Not actually from the Conservatives ("working4uk"), doesn't mention them by name, but denigrates all other parties and prints a load of alarmist statements about money.
They really ought to ban these organisations - evidently allied to political parties - from sidestepping the rules about campaigning on the day (and the overall financial restrictions). |  |

There might be some small print somewhere that actually gives details of who has "promoted" the leaflet and also the name and address of the printer
It has to be there according to election law.....not sure what the protocol is if they have failed to provide this info
I imagine Tories are running scared in the upmarket leafiness of your home town |  | | |

Whilst I feel your pain, I am not sure banning people (or groups) from having an opinion (and maybe stuffing it through your door) is desirable in the bigger scheme of things.....or more practically....even possible.
For example, somebody can be a supporter of ITFC and Essex CCC at the same time. Preventing them using Essex CCC to drop subtle messages about supporting ITFC and not those nasty budgies is nigh on impossible I would have thought. |  | | |

Yet another reason to have nothing to do with FaceBook. |  |

Working4UK was "registered on 14 November by Suraj Sharma, a property developer who is also a Conservative councillor in Bromley, south east London". Apparently.

Where there are clear links to a political party these should be declared under the party's spend, whichever side. I'm not sure how that would be policed, but something should be done. It is pure campaigning. |  |

There aren't legal spending limits on advertising for football or cricket clubs, neither are there restrictions about when you can leaflet.
At what point does someone go from being a supporter of a political party to actively part of their campaign? Surely anybody putting on a campaign on their behalf should be subject to the same rules, otherwise they become a nonsense? | |

Conservatives are going hard for the Ipswich seat - had at least half-a-dozen leaflets through the door from them, but only a couple for Sandy. |  |

" otherwise they become a nonsense"
I think we both know we've gone beyond the point where things are nonsense.
You can lie without any repercussions, you can openly work round the spending limits without an issue. Even if you get caught doing it in the most flagrant fashions, the fines are so minuscule as to not even worry about. |  |

Just thought I'd mention, a bunch of illegal posters were put up in my constituency by this group this morning. Bunch of the other parties were up early trying to take them down.
EDIT: Seems this has happened in multiple cities across the UK. Unbelievable. [Post edited 12 Dec 2019 20:42]

Whereabouts in town are you?
I'm IP3 and have had the opposite - lots from Sandy and not a lot from Tom thyming slang.
Not a peep from any of the other parties other than one half hearted Brexit party effort. |  |
