Partly a surge after party conference though. If (when?) Truss is still so spectacularly awful after their conference then yep, they have a serious problem, but they do have the perk of going last in these things.

Labour leaders have gone in to GEs with huge leads before and lost, Starmer still has a lot of work to do.

Unless she’s nationalising Greggs and making Steak and a Blowjob Day a national holiday I can’t see what she can do.

Personally I think she needs to clamp down on burglaries. What happened to Perrie and Axel this week was a disgrace and more needs to be done to find the culprits

They were in the house when burglars entered and both her and her 1 year old son have been traumatised. Not sure why you would make a pathetic comment like that

Imagine how lively the showbiz thread would be now. Mollie Mae’s baby, Mollie King’s baby, Perrie burglary, Ferne McCann Sam Faiers drama, don’t worry darling drama. Surely it needs to come back

he was 7 points ahead with a week to go on some polls and 4 points ahead consistently
Famously the exit poll predicted a hung parliament - Major actually ended up getting more votes than thatcher in any of her election victories which no one had foreseen - Major was the most unpredicted election victory

It's a microclimate, but we see with SISU (they've learned from their mistakes) how much people are prepared to forgive, if they then seemingly get what they want and are told what they want to hear. It's Liz Truss, so the chances of *her* doing it are slim, but it's not totally toast yet. Obviously if things continue apace, the news in a year is houses being repossessed etc, then it could get even worse if they don't row back...

I think there is a round of planned protests over weekend over energy prices. I think Don’t Pay have organised them. Birmingham I believe is the nearest and coinciding with the Tory conference.
Is Chris Pincher back in parliament noshing?

Wrong message really. Everybody can see they've capped energy prices, and they've done something about it. The problem is then coupling it with their tax cutting agenda.

Complacency would be dangerous at this time.
Maybe more for many people but not for poeple on benefits or pensions who's bill's will still be 2.5 time's greater.
It will still be heat or eat for many of them .

It's not great, but it's relatively easy to defend (out of our control, done what we can).
The tax cutting on the back of it, is not easy.

There’s also the issue that Martin Lewis was raising yesterday with her keeping saying that no one will pay more than £2,500 or words that would lead people to believe that to be true. I spent about half an hour last night telling my mum that her bill won’t be capped at £2,500 so she can switch the heating on full, open the windows, switch all the lights on all day and tumble dry her heart out even when the sun is shining without worry that her bill will exceed £2,500. She will be billed for what she uses it’s the rates that are capped not her bill and the £2,500 is just an example of the average bill not a maximum figure. I don’t think she believed me.

Sure they can when it’s all rhetoric, but that goes out the window when you’re mortgage goes up 50%. Can’t talk your way out of that. All they could do is back down from their nuttery on the economy, but it’s the sort of thing that once you do it once people take a long time to trust you again.

Not by day no, he’s a mild mannered leader of the opposition. But when he becomes Captain Hindsight…

Apparently they climbed through the back window using a very tall ladder. Also Perrie bought the house for £3m and paid cash. Who counted the cash and did they keep it in a briefcase or a suitcase?
