Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are facing their worst ever result at the general election and could be left with just 130 seats, according to Professor Sir John Curtice.
The country’s top polling guru warned of the bleak situation faced by the Tories as they head into winter with the news dominated by infighting over the prime minister’s Rwanda deportation plan.
The key thing to realise is this doesnt count the hundreds of seats the Tories will get for simply donning a red tie while keeping the same exact policies and mindset we’ve had for the last decade.
You mean switching sides? I don’t think anyone will trust them enough to vote them in if they do that
No I mean that the current labour party shares the vast majority of their policies with the Tories, so are effectively the same party.
How can you say they share the same policies when they obviously don’t?
Immigration for one an area in which the Tories are normally strong but Labour are absolutely beating them over their head and telling them to just start processing the applications instead of messing around with this pointless deportation deal. So labour would process the applications. That’s a massive difference right there.
Because what is labour’s actual policy on immigration? What you’re describing is just rhetoric, what is their actual policy? Because if we assume the Rwanda plan stays dead, then there’s no actual difference in their policy.
And then there’s the response to the energy crisis, privatisation of the NHS, the EU, Gender recognition, Israel-palestine, power devolution, nationalising rail, and probably at least a few more I can’t recall off the top of my head that are all major issues where Starmer is exactly the same as the Tories.
