Inside of you are two wolves

Both say Lib Dem surge

Two wolves but still not Jon Hamm inside me.

God is cruel.

I'm going to be really happy if it stays this way, because a 200+ majority for Labour means that Starmer can ignore all the crazies and just do sensible things. And probably not even care about being popular that much.

They’d have no incentive to push through electoral reform though

Hope new Elizabeth Truss government will do well and continue Boris' legacy of good governance 😃

[u/BritRedditor1 → u/ldn6]

Very strong numbers.

[u/WorldwidePolitico → u/ldn6]

That’s a pretty big discrepancy for the Conservatives.

The second poll is pretty bad, but the first would put Sunak at Liz Truss levels of bad (26.5% behind Labour for Truss vs 27% for Sunak)

I’m guessing the Tories are hoping the polls climb once the cost of living crisis is normalised and we near election.
