we are looking at a thumping majority for a party that an effective leader could defeat.
I don't buy this at all. What we are seeing is a Tory vote bloc that is firmly tied to Brexit. It's unclear to me how anyone, not matter how effective, would be able to eat in to that (without also being pro-Brexit).

Completely agree and with best guess from John Curtis being a 50 seat majority we are looking at a thumping majority for a party that an effective leader could defeat.
Add that in North Herefordshire the Labour candidate address is simply Birmingham. When I queried why a local candidate wasn’t on offer (Tory, Green, Lib Dem all have north Herefordshire addresses), I was told “well, he used to live in Abergavenny”. With that reasoning it seemed futile to point out that as well as also not being in Herefordshire, it was also in another country. Still, given massive majority in the constituency it’s all a bit moot
