Slight rishi bounce coming through in poll......
In some of the first polling conducted since Rishi took over as Prime Minister, the Conservatives have been able to close their polling deficit. New polling from YouGov and The Times saw Labour’s lead shrunk by 9 points.
Indeed, I was reading something about the 'Rishi bounce' earlier, not quite as big as the Boris bounce, but a bounce none the less. Starmer is desperate to keep the pressure on Sunak over appointing Braverman as Home Sec and you can bet Labour and the left wing press are going to hang onto it, let's face it they have nothing else. |

Following thatcherite economic policies, including thatcherite deregulation, that's what. Which is the very problem in the first place. Why? - if that is all the Labour Party are going to do what is the point of them? I often wondered that myself at the time. I ceased to be a Labour supporter at that time because of their buying into thatcherite economics |

Starmer's only truly effective policy thus far has been not being the Tories. But that only works if the Tories themselves are so awful that anything looks good in comparison. If the Tories start getting their act together and governing with some measure of competence, integrity, stability, and compassion - a big ask from Tories I know - then the Labour lead will start to shrink as it has already begun to. Whether this continues or not is all down to Sunak and his government and how well they perform and to what extent their performance is in line with majority public will. |

It's true to say the Tories have done themselves no favours in recent months, I think they know that. But I can't help thinking that all the wannabe prime ministers who came out of the woodwork when they sniffed Boris was on the way out were thankful they weren't in charge during covid. Sadly for Boris, covid shaped his time in office. |
