Joking aside, I still think they have more than a fighting chance to win.
I remember ‘97 and the sense that Labour were going to win the election rather than the Tories lose it. This feels much more like the Tories need to lose it - I don’t get the sense the country / electorate has bought into Starmer.
I’ve a terrible, nagging feeling that it somehow won’t go the way lots are currently predicting. And we’ll have at least 5 more years of this shit.
In 97 there was mass hysteria over Blair, he was the papers darling, head tennis with Keegan, D-Ream and all that jazz.
Starmer is nowhere near that.
