Over the past yr additionally I’ve been very cynical concerning the betting costs on a LAB majority. The size of what Starmer faces is huge on condition that he begins on 202 seats and desires 326 to recover from the road. .
The Scottish state of affairs stays what it has been for the reason that Indy referendum and the thought of Labour getting again to the times when it held 40 of the 59 seats north of the border is solely not going to occur
He additionally has the additional problem of the brand new boundaries which ought to come in the course of subsequent yr. It’s recommended that these might give the Tories about 10 or extra seats based mostly on what occurred in 2019.
I’m sufficiently old to recall that the present political atmosphere feels very very like that which existed within the couple of years earlier than the GE1997 when after all Tony Blair received a landslide Victory
Perhaps I’m overreacting however there might come a time when a LAB majority affords good worth. I’m not there but and I received’t be making any choice till after the Conservative convention subsequent week.
Who is aware of record Truss might pull off a blinder or the Tories might change her with a extra voters pleasant chief?
Mike Smithson
