As I said above they wouldn't have voted for Liz Truss. but you can say that about any politician - a majority of the public will not vote for Starmer even if he becomes PM. Why is it only an issue for Tory Leaders? |

Why is it only an issue for Tory Leaders? I didn't say it was an issue for Tory leaders. I said that there was a disconnect between the Tory membership and the general public. |

The Labour membership are far removed from the views of the general public - we rarely have Governments that have the support of a majority. |

The thread is about Liz Truss. I simply offered evidence that the general public would have voted differently to the Tory membership. I'm unsure what is controversial about that, or what the relevancy of Labour is? 🤷🏻 |

There is nothing particularly controversial or meaningful about it. The focus is interesting though
