It's not all bad news for Sunak, it's true his poll numbers are terrible but not the wipe out levels they were under Truss. Voter ID and boundary changes will help him massively.
But there are real problems for Labour as well, their support is soft.
A YouGov poll shows 63% of the public think Labour’s poll lead is largely against the government, with only 11% saying it is based on support for the party itself.
Sifting through all this shit and factoring in we don't have proportional representation and recognising that tactical voting is more talked about than a real thing, as it stand the Tories lose the next election to a Labour led coalition.
I'm not in the Labour Party anymore so I don't have a handle on Labour's ground game. I'd appreciate it if anyone still in might enlighten me as to where it stands.
One of the less well reported aspects of the infamous "Beergate" was the question what were the Westminster crowd doing in Durham for the Hartlepool by-election anyway? If memory serves they were there because the local party ground game wasn't working and Starmer and his inner circle had to parachute in draped in the union flag and do the heavy lifting themselves.
If this situation is indicative of the party nationally then Labour are in trouble. Despite what bluethrunthru might bang on about, in politics if you shit on your ground troops they'll not go over the top, they'll not go over the top for you if you lie to them either and for Labour that matters.
Page after page of how shit the Tories are is old man yells at cloud, it changes nothing, It's not enough to know what you hate to win an election.
