Sunak I think would be a doozy for Labour.

Whether it’s a 2023 or 2024 election, it’ll be very easy to undermine the arguments of a small-state championing billionaire given the state the economy will be in and the bulk of the electorate’s financial woes.

He won’t connect with the Red Wall and other working class voters like Boris did.

Well I am not really sure if Labour can connect with these people either.

Theres a real mix of people in the red wall to be honest. There was a very high level of antipathy towards the conservatives but much of that has swung towards Labour.

It will be a challenge for Labour to change this. They don't really do well in gaining votes amongst disillusioned and cynical people. Conservatives can do well with that kind of crowd.

There will be a huge bunch of people in those seats who will see:

- We gave the Tories a chance, for the first time
- Financially, we’re far worse off than we were before they were elected
- There’s been no great cultural revolution
- The Tories have reverted to type

I think they’ll fall, hard, with swings back to Labour, swings to the far right and lower turnout.

^ Massive generalisations in there, obviously, but speaking on a macro level.

Shameful from Boris

Like Viserys Targaryn he think the people will be drinking secret toasts to his health and weaving Bojo banners ready to unfurl them when he's welcomed back to power

I think some people will view that the economic stagnation and inflation was out of the conservatives control. Just as they did with Covid to a point.

Also, someone like Sunak isn't likely to stand as a neoliberal candiate to be honest. He is also seen as the chancellor who gave a lot of economic relief to people during Covid. So the scary neoliberal-con image wont work unfortunately.

Nor are Labour likely to advocate for anything that radically different. So quite rightly people are not going to be that optimistic about them.

Most of all people are annoyed with constant scandals. If conservatives can sort this out, then I think it will be very hard for Labour.

I’m not so sure that those (false) economic arguments are going to continue to wash.

The Tories created and have been 100% responsible for the management of Brexit, from the start to date.

They are 100% responsible for labour shortages.

They are responsible for failing to intervene to address inflation, and for refusing to engage with the unions.

The COVID excuse will disappear as the rest of the G20 accelerates away from the UK economically.

Their re-election is going to depend hugely on divide-and-conquer politics, and all they have left there is culture war nonsense which polling is telling us doesn’t interest (at best) the majority of voters, including those in key Tory demographics and swing seats.

Everyone always forgets the brexit party voters in the red wall...

They need to go somewhere too, I couldn't even begin to guess what that area is going to look like after the next GE

Speaking from experience, once you stop voting Labour it isn't always easy to go back to voting for them, especially if you believe that Labour actually left you.

Lib Dems will be getting excited at their chances of being relevant again.

Unless another arch-Brexiteer is appointed, they’ll dump the Tories.

And another arch-Brexiteer is only likely to do further fiscal damage to the country and upset middle class swing voters.

I think they might finally be hoisted by their own Brexit neutron bomb. It was always going to happen eventually. Divide and conquer only works whilst you still have an argument to make.

Many fackedters that r outta there control

I think if they go pro brexit, the middle class will desert them and they will lose seats, especially in their own heartlands to the Libs.

I also imagine that's where voters would go in the red wall, although the time is now perfect for a wave of PR for the "reform UK" party.

If they go against brexit, they will be easy pickings at a general election.. on the subject of it being their project from inception to execution and back again.

EXCL: Boris Johnson and wife Carrie are planning big wedding bash at Chequers within weeks - with sources saying it's part of reason he wants to stay as caretaker.

Tory source: "It beggars belief that even after all the criticism Johnson has faced regarding integrity and probity, one of the reasons he is staying is to have his wedding party at Chequers. The Johnsons should do the decent thing and find a different venue."
------------------

He really is the biggest c@nt gong isn't he?
