It is a bit of an odd one, especially for a Conservative, who you would presume is a free marketeer by ideology. What's the government got to do with locating Fish and Chip Shops?
Does fit with a theory that I've had for a while now, that actually at least some of the "decline" that people discern in their local area is often just the changing economics/logistics of retail shopping. |
Indeed, high streets are slowly dying across Britain, populated largely by estate agents & charity shops. The advent of out of town shopping centres & then the internet are the reasons, as well as sky high business rates in some areas (especially Radlett). |  |

It's one of the things that made the whole "levelling up" thing so specious. It imagined great swathes of Northern England suffering from long-term economic decline and that a Tory government was going to swoop in and supercharge the local economy with lots of high quality new jobs.
But no one really knows how to do that kind of sub-regional development and a lot of the people voting for it weren't actually unemployed workers in need of good work, but home-owning retirees who just wanted the local shops to be a bit nicer. |  |

It’s almost as if he’s a hypocrite and a charlatan:

Edit: hadn’t seen Illy’s post.
The Tories never anticipate the receipts do they? 😂 [Post edited 27 Mar 22:01]

Looks like he's a local MP trying to help at a grass root level. Probably raise by a local constituent.
There are plenty of reasons to bash the conservatives, but this feels a bit of a reach to berate him for this? |
Did you not read the community note?
"As a member of the planning committee, in 2019 Steve Tuckwell voted against a fish and chip shop opening on Windsor Street in Uxbridge Town Centre. "
He absolutely deserves to be bashed for this. |  |

Ah, yes, the the old Tory data gathering trick. | |

Ah, yes, the the old Tory data gathering trick. |
Interestingly, even without such data gathering, it is possible to make targeted political ads through Facebook based on the data that Facebook harvests.
https://news.sky.com/story/voters-braced-for-deluge-of-facebook-and-instagram-me
Such ads were used to great effect before Trump was elected, and during the Vote Leave campaign, with the following from the linked article.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44966969#:~:text=The%20official%20Vote%20
"The official Vote Leave campaign spent more than £2.7m on targeting ads at specific groups of people on Facebook - helping it to win the 2016 EU referendum.
The ads, created by Canadian company Aggregate AIQ, often focused on specific issues - such as immigration or animal rights - thought likely to push the buttons of certain groups of people, based on their age, where they lived and other personal data taken from social media and other sources."
