    We really need an election, but we have stubborn sitting tenants in Downing St, who have no where else to go.

      8 months before the election, prepare to see the right wing media gear into action and spread lies about everyone except the Tories, and the 20 point leaf labour had will likely disappear, and I would be surprised if the Tories get back in again.

      However, rishi sunak seems to be a candidate that even the Tories hate, perhaps because he’s not white and richer and more succe6and powerful than the average Tory voter- at least they found something in common with the Clown - an idiot who “you could have a pint with”.

      God, tory voters are pathetic.

        I am expecting the lead to dwindle, but not by as much as you would expect because the Tories have used all the bullets up trying to hide from the truth in other areas. So yes, I would agree with you in any other election period except this one. For that media will have an impact, but that impact is lessoned by the lack of trust that the media is viewed with these days. Even Tories know that we are being led up the garden path when it comes to the UK media.
