Is there any way back for Sunak’s party? The party started 2022 with average leads about 4%. Just compare that with what we are seeing at the moment. It is hard to argue anything other than the voting public is tired of the Tories and wants change and maybe the current trend will continue until that point in 2024 or sooner when whoever is the leader decides to go to the country.
