This feels much worse than the end days of the John Major premiership, there’s too much bitterness and rancour (sic) in the party for them to govern effectively. I suspect this also makes both Badenoch and Braverman lays in the next Tory leader market. TSE
You can back Nigel Farage at 34 on Betfair on the next Tory leader market, I am not tempted because of that split amongst Tory voters, it would be interesting to see a similar poll of Tory members. TSE
When I first heard the absolute nonsense emanating from Suella Braverman’s mouth about the homeless I was truly disgusted and I had a feeling it would go down very badly with the voters and this poll confirms my expectations were right. Her comments persuaded me to vote Labour for the first time in my life.
