“Boris Johnson could return as Prime Minister under astonishing plans being hatched by Tory MPs – with a ‘dream ticket’ leadership tie-up with Nigel Farage even being considered.
The Mail on Sunday has spoken to multiple Conservative MPs who believe that bringing back the former Premier is the only way to save the party from an Election wipeout.“
[Mail On Sunday]
Regular readers of the blog know that I have little time (if any) for either Johnson or Farage. However, looking objectively at the claims made in that Mail report, I can see why many Conservative Party MPs might favour the idea of “Boris”-idiot and Farage joining up to save the Con Party.
At present, the Con Party is between 19% and 24% in the polls. Even the higher figure would reduce the number of Con Party MPs from 350 to about 101, depending on the exact detail of where the votes were to fall; the lower figure might reduce the number of Con Party MPs to around 40 or so.
Were there to be an alliance between Johnson and Farage, and if both stood for election as Con candidates in 2024, the Con Party would still suffer a big hit, but might poll at around 30%. In addition, Reform UK would presumably stand down in terms of the General Election, thus gifting a great many marginal seats to the Con Party.
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that might leave the Conservative Party with about 187 seats, about half what they now command, but not a wipeout: better than their performance in both 1997 (165) and 2001 (166), and not far off that of 2005 (198).
The Reform UK officials say this, though:
“But Reform Party officials said their aim was to kill off the Conservatives. One told The Mail on Sunday: ‘When Nigel gets back [from the ITV reality show] he’s going to start dominating the agenda. Within about six to eight weeks we’ll be polling in the high teens, and the Tories will start to slip below 20 per cent.
‘At that point between five and ten MPs will realise the game’s up, and defect to us. Then it’s game over. We’re looking at the last majority Tory administration of our lifetime. We’re going to destroy them.”
[Mail On Sunday]
Sounds good (that last bit). “Those who live will see“, though…
Would Farage even go for such a deal? I think that he might. He betrayed his Brexit Party candidates in 2019, after all.
I would not rule out the possibility that he might like a deal of the sort suggested, both for political and personal reasons. He might be able to sell it to his present supporters.
After all, if the Con Party were still to lose the 2024 (maybe January 2025) General Election fairly badly, Farage —if an MP by then— could put himself forward as candidate for Leader at the subsequent Con Party leadership election. The cat really would be among the pigeons then…

"If the policy of mass #immigration …is so beneficial to Britain …then why exactly is Britain importing so many low-skilled, high-need people …who are disproportionately more likely …to be a net fiscal cost to the economy?", asks Prof @GoodwinMJhttps://t.co/RKlzDG3diX
The bien-pensants of Twitter/X may say that housing, pay, benefits, pensions etc are more important than immigration as a mainstream political issue, but the fact is that mass immigration and migration invasion make those issues —and others— far more pressing. It affects everything.

My friend is a bank manager for Lloyds, told me last week that come January more branches will be closed,his elderly clients are in tears. He also told me that buses from the local hotel that was sold to the home office that brings in the illegals to have bank accounts!
This is a massive disgrace now. The banks proved, about 15 years ago, that they were hugely incompetent and hugely greedy. They would all have failed, their far-too-well remunerated directors and senior staff made redundant, had the British people, via the State, not bailed them out. Now they refuse to honour the social contract by keeping branches open.
Most local bank branches in my local town have either already closed, or will close in 2024. Any problems will have to be sorted out on the telephone, and apparently even that (often impossible because of endless questions and passwords etc) is going to be withdrawn for most people.
This is not a purely commercial matter. The banks have a responsibility which they are unwilling to honour.
It is, also, part of the ongoing alienation of people in this country from the society in which they live.
Suella Braverman's full resignation statement.
"It is now or never. The Conservative party faces electoral oblivion in a matter of months if we introduce yet another bill destined to fail"
A couple of caveats: firstly, I oppose any non-European/non-white being an MP, still less Cabinet Minister. Secondly, I cannot see that Suella Braverman accomplished any more than similar (?) Israel-lobby puppet Priti Patel in her time as Home Secretary. Third, I cannot endorse most of her views on purely domestic policy areas.
Having said that, she is of course undoubtedly correct in her view of the migration invasion, though she seems less clear about “legal” migration, which after all brought both her parents and those of Priti Patel to this country. “Legal” migration is 10x or even 20x as high as “illegal”.
I think that she is right about the political tsunami about to hit the Conservative Party, though immigration is only one of many policy areas where this absurd government of clowns has failed.
I wonder what will happen if/when the Conservative Party is left with 100 MPs, or even 50? At present, she seems to appear as the standout candidate to be elected Leader of the potential rump party that might be left, following the 2024 General Election. Her own seat must be one of the safest, partly by reason of speeches such as that made today.
Suella Braverman seems to be positioning herself as a latter-day Margaret Thatcher, who was called “the only man in the Cabinet“.
Of course, Suella Braverman was dismissed, so this speech is only nominally a “resignation” speech.

Interesting, if true. I have been unable to completely verify that last, but if (as seems possible) Ursula von der Leyen is part-Jew, then that would fit right in with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Israel’s brutality loses the Jewish state public support in the West. When the Hamas attack on southern Israel happened in early October, even some people not inclined to support Israel (or Jews generally) may have been slightly sympathetic to the civilian victims (in fact, many were not really civilian, but we can leave that aside).
Israel’s response, to launch a sustained bombing campaign on the civilians (half of them children or teenagers) in Gaza, killing many thousands, grievously injuring and mutilating thousands more, destroying hospitals etc, has wiped out any slight inclination on the part of the majority of non-Jews to feel any sympathy at all for Israelis and the Jewish “diaspora” across the West.
Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism. That has affected its development right up to the present day.
At least one major Jewish terrorist of the 1940s (Menachem Begin) actually became Prime Minister of the Israeli state in the 1980s.

Well, without even researching the others, Dowden, Shapps and Frazer are Jewish. So that's at least 3 of 23 cabinet ministers, about 1 in 7. If Jews are around 0.5% of the population, that's about 30x overrepresentation right there.

Laura K listens intently to Tice and then interrupts to the point of shouting as Christine McAnea destroys his argument.. tell me that’s unbiased journalism @BBCPolitics ?
I saw the clips, not the whole show. In that second one, Tice made a reasoned plea to save what is left of our culture and way of life in the face of truly massive migration-invasion.
A very stupid woman, of whom I had not previously heard, one Christina McAnea (Irish by way of Scotland) tried to make the hackneyed claim that Irish or Scottish culture was very different from English (and that the present huge invasion and replacement of…us…was therefore somehow OK)! If so, how much more different are the cultures of Afghanistan, the Middle East, black Africa etc?
I had not heard that kind of silly and ahistorical argument (as in “the Vikings and Normans invaded ‘us’, the Huguenots settled here, and that is not different from millions of blacks and browns coming here“) for some time. It was the sort of nonsense one heard in the 1970s from ill-educated types unaware that, for example, the Vikings and Normans were the same people in origin, or that they (and the Huguenots, for that matter) were racially very similar both inter se and to the then existing inhabitants of the British Isles.
I see now that the McAnea woman read English and History at Strathclyde University in the late 1970s or 1980s, at which time she was a member of the Communist Party (she belongs to Labour now). She cannot have learned much history from that degree course.
As a matter of fact, the McAnea woman seems also to have picked up little English, listening to her confuse “less” with “fewer“…
Looking at that McAnea woman was like going back to about 1978, and not in a good way. She is a total socio-political dinosaur, who seems to turn a blind eye to the disastrous consequences of allowing up to 20,000 migrant-invaders per week (“net”, at that) to settle in this country. She and her type betray their own countrymen and women, and their own trade union members, whose children may now end up living in a race-chaos dystopia because of her and people like her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_McAnea.

I recall reading, in the early 1980s, the biography of the head of the Cheka, Feliks Dzerzhinsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky], a book produced in Soviet days (around 1970, I think) but never translated into English. It described, inter alia, how “sabotage” and negligence in various industries, particularly the railways, in the years of post-revolutionary upheaval and civil war (roughly 1918-1923) were combated by shooting those who —allegedly— abused their positions.
Whatever the whys and wherefores, it is certainly true that, after the full establishment of Soviet power, the railways never failed to work satisfactorily.

If that is even the real figure; possibly higher. So there will be a “need” (contrived, or deliberately engineered “need”) to create a city the size of Leicester, or Wakefield, or Coventry, every single year? Madness, and in fact impossible.
That’s assuming that monkey-on-a-stick Cleverly’s “plan” will work. I doubt that it will. Nothing else this Government has done works. Indeed, nothing much at all, in general, works properly in the UK any more.
The fact that James Cleverly has held two of the country's most important positions of power tells you everything you need to know about the decay of Britain.

Hard to believe (for those who imagine that Labour is still in some way “socialist” or even “social-democratic”). Starmer praising not only Mrs Thatcher but also global finance-capitalism, and in the Sunday Telegraph to boot!
Britain in the late 1970s had its problems, but the Thatcher government went far too far the other way, though in most respects not as far as have all UK governments since 1997.
“Labour” and “Conservative” have both become just almost-meaningless labels, rather like the kind of parties seen in Latin America which call themselves simple names to bamboozle simple electorates— “blanco”, “colorado” etc. The same as in Russia under Yeltsin; a major party (theoretically or mostly in opposition during the 1990s, but really not) was called “yabloko” (Apple), and its symbol was an apple. Simple, meaningless, deceptive.
Starmer, thanks to the utter collapse of the Conservative Party, is riding high by default. He has no need to even pretend that Labour is the “party for the working man”, as in decades past.
Also:
“The Labour leader touted the party’s “iron-clad fiscal rules” in an effort to portray Labour as trustworthy on the economy.
“There will be many on my own side who will feel frustrated by the difficult choices we will have to make,” he added. “This is non-negotiable: every penny must be accounted for. The public finances must be fixed so we can get Britain growing and make people feel better off.”
[Mail on Sunday, citing the Sunday Telegraph].
Just look at that. “Difficult choices“, “the public finances must be fixed” etc— the very words so often used by Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and their gophers, Clegg and Danny Alexander, in the early days of the Con Coalition of 2010-2015.
The only slight surprise is that Starmer still refers to his “own side“. What side is that? He pretends that there is still a Labour and ‘Tory’ divide. In reality, the ruling members of both System parties are following the same agenda: globalized finance-capitalism, “Friends of Israel”, and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (funnelling blacks, browns etc into the UK in order to create over time a mixed-race and easily-ruled subject population).
“Vladimir Putin could resort to deploying nuclear weapons in his war against Ukraine if the Russian despot feels his forces face defeat on the battlefield, a retired US Army Brigadier General has warned.
Kevin Ryan, who served as Chief of Staff for the Army’s Space and Missile Defence Command, said nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.
Ryan, who also served as the Defence Attaché to Russia, said Moscow is not just at war with Ukraine, but with the West too – and it’s for this reason Putin is much more likely to see the use of tactical nuclear weapons as ‘prudent deterrence’.
‘The exploding of a nuclear weapon inside Ukraine may seem like “overkill” in a war against Ukraine, but in a war against the West, it could be seen as prudent deterrence,’ Ryan tells MailOnline.”
[Mail on Sunday]
Well, the flaw in the retired officer’s above argument lies in “nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.“
As someone once said, “that dirty little word if“..
“If” Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield (they are not making gains), and “if” the Kiev-regime forces “retake” Crimea (that will never happen).
Putin has no need to remind the USA, UK etc (NWO) what power he has. NATO knows what will happen if it goes too far.

Iain Dale is typical of the UK msm— completely under the influence of the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby, completely pro-immigration, and hostile to the idea that the poorer 90% of the country should have any real rights.
Incredibly, Jewish-lobby puppet Iain Dale received only a mild police caution for attacking that elderly dissenter or protester in the street.

I was in A&E yesterday. Eight hours wait for treatment and yes I blame a lack of support from the nasty party.

England is one of the most nature depleted nations thanks to habitat disturbance caused by too many people. Iain Dale applauds 20,000 immigrants per week. Imagine another 20 yrs of this
Hard to judge whether Iain Dale is one of the conspirators wanting to import 20,000 blacks and browns (mainly) per week, or whether he is just a bit thick. Maybe a bit of both.
As someone tweeted, Dale lives in an area where average house prices well exceed £600,000, and where the impact on him personally will not be felt for decades, even if he is still alive by then. Rory Stewart is another one, his main property being a listed country house in the England/Scotland border country.
At the present rate, Britain, which had about 56M inhabitants (99% real British) when I was a small child, and which now has about 65M officially and 70M unofficially, will have 77M+ in 2030, 87M+ in 2040, and maybe 100M in 2050, by which time (if this madness is not stopped) the country will have become a soulless, largely urbanized and suburbanized dystopia, where hardly anything works properly and where the population is mainly black, brown, or “mixed-race”.
I am 67 already, so —thank God!— I myself will or would not be here to experience the hell that may be not very far down the line in the UK.
I am doing what little I can to stop that disaster happening, but the forces of the State (suborned by the Jew-Zionist cabals) have already prosecuted me for blogging the truth.
“Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“. As in…crime going through the roof, and migrant-invaders make money illicitly while laughing at the British people, and while, at the same time, people like me are prosecuted at the behest of a pack of Jew-Zionists for something as trivial as having allegedly posted justified remarks and the odd cartoon about society and politics…
The “readers’ comments” are interesting, with many saying —all too rightly— that this country is no longer a democracy, and that they will vote Reform UK. Well, I have no time for Farage, Tice etc, but if Reform UK can break up the present binary stitch-up, good…
The “Conservative” Party has relied on sheep-voting for a long long time, just like “Labour” did in Scotland (and is now doing in England). Both parties have MPs, “lords”, and activists who want the very opposite of what the vast majority of British people want.

“Oxfam are in a ‘hypocrisy’ row after the charity paid one worker at least £340,000 in a year.
The payout was made in the year that the anti-poverty charity’s staff have had to rely on food banks to survive, which prompted the organisation’s first-ever strike over poor pay.
Around eight per cent of staff have used foodbanks, 22 per cent could not pay their rent, and 34 per cent had to choose between heating and eating, according to a union survey.
But the organisation’s had an income of £373 million and reserves of £44.6 million in 2021/2022, according to accounts.
The charity coughed up £340,000 to £349,000 in the year to March, 31, 2022, to a single overseas worker.“

Anyone who gives money to Oxfam these days is a total mug.
I stopped donating spare change and old coats etc when Oxfam started its multi-million anti-apartheid campaign against South Africa in the 1980s. Well, apartheid has gone, but poverty in Africa, including South Africa, is still there, and in South Africa more severe than it was then.
The head of Oxfam is a Sri Lankan aged 47 who, having been a student until age 28-29, gets £150,000 a year from Oxfam alone: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhananjayan_Sriskandarajah. He is part of the WEF “young global leaders” set-up (as were the sinister Jacinda Ardern and others).
In fact, the whole worldwide “aid” “industry” is rotten to the core in various ways.
“Ministers were accused of a cover-up last night after it was revealed that soldiers did secretly spy on British critics of the Government’s response to Covid.
The release of new documents contradict official assertions that a shadowy Army unit had only been monitoring foreign powers.
The Mail on Sunday revealed earlier this year that military operatives in the UK’s ‘information warfare’ brigade were part of a sinister scheme to keep a close eye on politicians and high-profile journalists who raised doubts about the pandemic response.
Silkie Carlo, director of Big Brother Watch, last night said: ‘The MoD’s claims that the information warfare unit’s secretive work was focused solely on overseas threats are now, ironically, clearly disinformation acting as a cover-up for their political surveillance.
‘Free Press and free speech are the foundations of any democracy, yet journalists and politicians appear to be treated like the enemy within.”

“Free speech” is pretty much dead in the UK now.

As recently as the 1990s, there was still at least some freedom of expression left. No more. “They” (mostly, but together with the whole “woke” movement, the “antifa” idiots etc) have killed it. The beneficiaries? Mostly “the usual suspects”, but also the transnational conspiracy often termed “NWO/ZOG”.

Most of the idiots supporting further (or indeed the existing) migration invasion indulge in “magical thinking”; they have no idea where to house or how to feed (etc) more than half a million, i.e. about 700,000 (net) incomers per year. In 5 years, that would be and probably will be (?) 2.5M, 3.5M or more “new” UK inhabitants.
Conservative voters Too high 85% About right 3% Too low 1%
Labour voters Too high 38% About right 24% Too low 4%
The figure for Labour of course includes a high proportion of non-European immigrants or descendants of recent (post-1945) immigrants.
Noticeable that even those whom Goodwin calls the “new elite“, half of them (49%) anyway, think that immigration is now too high. Even they are now starting to run scared of what they themselves have done, facilitated, or encouraged.
The “Ann Brough” tweeter [Update: that tweet was deleted by the tweeter] displays the usual “magical thinking” common to pro-immigration idiots. False cartoon-economics and, lack of thought generally. She describes herself as “optimist and dreamer“. Fine, so long as you do not throw away all thought and logic (as pro-immigration idiots always do).
Stray thoughts
You often hear or see the statement “The Third Reich was terrible because [whatever].” Often cited is euthanasia of the terribly mentally or even physically disabled etc. Few consider that that or similar happened also in the USA, UK etc in the 1930s, though not often admitted to.
When people today say that they are, say, Roman Catholic, do other people say “so you support the Inquisition?!” or “so you support the torture and genocide of the Cathars?!” No…yet the same or similar questioners might say to someone who is social-national politically, “so you support euthanasia of the badly-disabled?!” or “you support gassing Jews?!” (leaving aside the doubtful proposition about whether the fabled “gas chambers” even existed). They might as well demand an answer to the question “so you want to invade Poland?!“.
Half of British Jews 'considering leaving the UK' amid 'staggering' rise in discrimination, Campaign Against Antisemitism reveals ahead of marchhttps://t.co/ysUm4HAP1b
Is that true? I wonder. Example: one-trick-pony actress Maureen Lipman has “threatened” to leave the UK (for Israel or USA) several times over the years. Never happened. These days she “cosplays” being scared by having a “minder” sometimes trail her from time to time (photographed for Press use, of course).
I have not been sentenced yet (late January 2024 or February 2024). There will be argument over whether “culpability” was “high”, “medium” or “low” (I say low, of course, and think that the law and material facts are on my side); as to “harm” (harm done by the alleged actions), even the Prosecution, and indeed the Court itself, accepted at and before trial that no harm at all was done by the cartoons and remarks attributed to me.
Well, I await my fate…
After sentencing, I have 15 working days, i.e. three weeks, in which to decide whether to appeal either to Crown Court or, on point of law, to the Divisional Court (High Court).
If I do appeal, the whole matter may not come to a conclusion until sometime in 2025.
50,000 (if so) out of about 10M inhabitants of the London area (i.e. about 1 out of every 200 London inhabitants. In fact, Jews and supportive poor saps from —I have seen tweets— as far away as Cardiff and Manchester are there. On that basis, 50,000 out of about 70M people in the UK as a whole. About 1 protester out of every 1,400 inhabitants of the UK.

“JUST IN: President Barack Obama’s former National Security Council advisor has been arrested after he stalked and spewed Islamophobic slurs at a NYC halal cart worker.
Stuart Seldowitz was charged with aggravated harassment, a hate crime and stalking after he threatened to deport a worker to Egypt. He also suggested he would have the worker’s parents tortured and asked if the worker “r*pes his daughter like Muhammad.”
He is facing a total of 5 counts. Seldowitz released a very weak apology saying he regrets that “the whole thing happened.” “I did have an argument with a food vendor. It is quite possible that it’s me. I mean, I’ve not seen the video, but I believe it’s probably me.” “If I had to do it all over again, I would not have raised the religious aspect.”
He also was caught on camera harassing a Russian. (first video below) What a terrible person.”
Look at his career. Look at what he did at the State Department. No wonder that, in US-Israel relations, “the tail wags the dog”. “They” have infiltrated deeply into key areas of Federal Government— State Department, CIA, Justice Department etc.
I myself have been harassed and stalked for a decade by a pack of Zionist Jews but, instead of said Jews getting arrested and charged etc, I was the one finally charged (on trumped-up charges of having put “grossly offensive” cartoons and remarks on this blog). Very recently convicted, I may appeal in or after February 2024.
Notice how that Jew, Seldowitz, smiles almost at random, like a faulty machine with crossed wires. A trait I have noticed in the past.
The Jew’s comment about the Egyptian Mukhabarat (secret police) breaking fingers sent a bit of a chill down my spine, though I have to admit that they were reasonably polite when I myself was “not” arrested in Egypt 25 years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/03/07/when-i-was-not-arrested-in-egypt/.

More importantly, how can our society even be maintained as it is now (let alone improved) when a million blacks and browns (the vast majority), and many quite “primitive”, enter the UK in a single year? The fact that a couple of hundred thousand individuals (many of them anyway either Brits emigrating, or Australians etc returning home) leave in the same year changes nothing, essentially.
This affects housing (overloaded), education (overloaded), social benefits and pay (the value of both lessened or just destroyed), transport (overloaded) and the actual average IQ-level of the country (lowered via the numbers of persons from relatively-low-IQ national and sub-racial groups invading the UK).
Do not forget that those are net figures. The vast majority of entrants are blacks and browns etc. A large proportion of those leaving are either white people such as Australians, New Zealanders etc returning home, or (real) British people emigrating. The true demographic picture is therefore even more disastrous than appears superficially.

Pretty much what I and others (BNP, Nick Griffin, Andrew Brons, the National Front, the British Movement etc, right back to the 1950s and Colin Jordan) have been saying for about 60 years (in my case since the 1970s).
We have been laughed at, violently opposed, frozen out of expressing our views and suggested policies (via the msm and, in more recent times, social media and Internet generally). Many have lost jobs and/or professional status. We have even been convicted (as in my own case this very month) on trumped-up charges.
I feel, however, that our time may be coming. Then, watch out.
When I testified at my own trial last Friday, I was asked by Crown Counsel as to whether the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan is “a conspiracy theory“. My answer was that it is not.
Coudenhove-Kalergi, a half-Austrian/half-Japanese, wrote a book outlining his plan. Today, you only have to look around you to see the practical application of it: Europe invaded by non-Europeans. Not repeat not some kind of accident. The aim? A mixed-race population, eventually, and ruled by a partly though not wholly Jewish ruling stratum.
Anyone my age (67) can see clearly the demographic difference between the UK in, say, the 1960s, 1970s, even 1990s, and the UK of 2023.

Incidentally, I am told by a reader of this blog that The Times has printed some kind of report about my recent trial. I refuse to pay even a small amount in order read the sort of rubbish put out by the contemporary “British” newspapers, so I do not know exactly what is the content of that report (I can guess, pretty much, anyway), but what strikes me is that it has apparently only appeared today, five days after the trial itself. Hardly “breaking news”.
I wonder what will happen with the newspapers in the UK. Several years ago, Rupert Murdoch gave the paper versions of newspapers only until about 2025 to survive, and certainly one rarely sees anyone buying a newspaper these days. I occasionally see an elderly person (always elderly, meaning 70+ if not 80+) buying a newspaper in Waitrose; not so often though.
The quality of journalistic language, let alone analysis, has fallen through the floor despite (?) the now almost exclusively graduate entry. Poor English, and little background knowledge, are patent.
I read somewhere that newspapers are still functioning because the online versions both take subscriptions, and make money out of advertisements; also, the mainly young “journalist” scribblers are paid very modestly. The only highly-paid scribblers now are the “celebrity” columnists, or so I read.
I myself last bought a newspaper about 25 years ago.
State pension to rise by 8.5% to £221.20 a week as Chancellor confirms 'triple lock'https://t.co/eWwBDR3Gy6
Hunt and Sunak had little choice, politically. Opinion polling puts the Conservative Party on about 20% for the 2024 General Election. Most of that consists of State Pensioners. Without the pensioner vote, the Conservative Party is toast. It may be that it is anyway, but being seen to pander a bit to the most obvious interest of those over 65 is a desperate way to shore up, at least to some extent, that core vote.
Incidentally, using Electoral Calculus, the difference between (A) a 20% vote and (B) a 15% vote is (A) 57 Conservative MPs (Lab 508) and (B) 19 Conservative MPs (Lab 541).
Were the Con Party able to rise to a support-level of 25%, the result might be 125 Con MPs (Lab 452); on 30%, 219 Con MPs (Lab 360).
For Sunak and Hunt, the (for now) retention of the Triple Lock is a no-brainer, of course. However, it will not save them. The best they can hope for, I think, is a hard defeat next year. It is an open question whether that defeat will prove almost, or actually, existential.
