Johnson is that no rival Conservative leader can appeal to such a cross-section of voters. Johnson also faces acute difficulties in Scotland, where he has never been popular and has now been disowned by four of the six Scottish Conservative members of the Westminster Parliament - including their leader, Douglas Ross - who voted against the prime minister on Monday. A Labour victory would be a sign both that it is starting to win back its heartlands under its leader, Keir Starmer, and that Mr. The party’s former lawmaker, Imran Ahmad Khan, quit after being convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager. In Wakefield, a “red wall” district in the north of England that the Conservatives won in 2019, the omens are poor. Johnson should become clearer in two weeks when voters go to the polls in two districts to replace Conservative lawmakers who resigned from Parliament in disgrace. The scale of the electoral task faced by Mr. These policies have alarmed low-tax, pro-business Tories but have yet to improve the party’s poll ratings, which trail those of Labour.

The 98-metre Trailer Princess is a former railcar ferry that was converted into a helicopter pad and refuelling platform.Ī coast guard crew from the Campbell River lifeboat station assessed the barge and laid hundreds of metres of pollution containment boom around the vessel. More than 35,000 litres of fuel have been recovered from a listing and leaking barge in the bay after the problem was spotted by a helicopter pilot on Feb. The vessel is the second barge to be grounded in Duncan Bay, north of Campbell River, in recent weeks. "The Canadian Coast Guard is in communication with the owner and other partners to ensure an appropriate response," Imbeau said. The owners of the barge and tugboat, Sentry Marine Towing, plan to use a crane to shift the cargo and rebalance the load before carrying on, according to coast guard spokesperson Michelle Imbeau. There is no concern about marine pollution from the cargo or from hydrocarbons on board, according to the coast guard. The barge contains 5,500 yards of "hog fuel," a wood waste product. The Canadian Coast Guard was responding Wednesday to a barge filled with wood debris that was intentionally grounded near Campbell River, B.C.Ĭoast guard officials say the operator of the tugboat Pacific Chief intentionally beached the barge in Duncan Bay on Tuesday morning after the cargo had shifted.
