They didn't even do that. But the biggest take was this, and it came from none less than the old sage himself, John Curtice - if Labour can win back 30-40 seats in Scotland, mostly from the SNP (that this swing in Scotland, even less, represents), then they need a massive 5% less in the UK than the previously mentioned 13% lead to win a 30-seat majority. That's a third of the lead they hold now. Now, probably most of that won't happen in a GE, but if it's even half true (and nobody should argue with John Curtice) , even if Labour loses half its lead between now and next October they're still in the realms of 40+ seat majority. And when the full Covid inquiry fully reports in three years, two years into a Labour administration, we can confidently predict that the Cons won't get in for another decade at least, and several of them will face fraud charges for the PPE scandals, which is why Rishi is desperate to pass a law now to bury all the Mone/Harding/Hands etc evidence. Winter is coming for the Tories. And the North won't forget either. these were surreptitiously spread around the Tory conference at Manchester. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
I'll just use your comment to quote merely because it had a meme about HS2. Something I'm not understanding in all this, it's nailed on that Labour will be in power around this time next year, so why didn't Sunak just continue to push forward with HS2, because the cost is not going to be his or the Tories problem in the near future? Even if we really can't afford to continue with the project, so what, leave it to Labour to make the future decision on it and let Starmer take the flak for not caring about the North, thus also leaving the Labour Party to pick up the pieces with Andy Burnham.
