Neither Labour nor the Tories reckon they can win West Midlands, if the two parties expectation management operations is to be believed. Is it too late for me to have a go?

If every broadcast interview of a minister for the next week doesn't end with the interviewer brandishing a map and asking them to locate Rwanda, then I don't know what we're doing here.
BBC Question Time audience gasps at Tory MP's blunder over Rwanda and Congo mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
A thought. And I can't believe I'm having it. Did we consider checking if MPs could find Rwanda on a map before allowing them to vote on the bill? Might have saved some bother.
Just so we're clear: Chris Philp is absolutely sure Rwanda is a safe country. He must have done, he voted through a bill that made that fact, for some reason, a British law. He's just not entirely sure if it's the same country as Congo or not.
Oh noooooo

Sunak blocks NATO’s Jens Stoltenberg from answering @PippaCrerar’s Q on whether he’s spoken to Labour about the long term defence spending commitment
To be clear: this was not a question about domestic politics - it was about our long-term defence commitment. If, as polls suggest, the Tories lose next election then all their future plans go with them. Anybody who cares about our security will want to know what comes next
