But if the electorate has decided they're not fit to represent them as councillors, I don't give much for their chances as MPs!

Vetting will no doubt have to be rushed. Given some of the social media and other skeletons that have emerged from some of their earlier candidates selected at relative leisure who've had to be removed, what could possibly go wrong?

Labour does have its own problems in this respect. But at least it's not having to contend with the climbing number of Tory MPs who aren't going to stand for re-election in addition to everything else.
