Keir and Boris Talk Down Expectations

Survation poll puts Tories on 17 point lead in Hartlepool. Comes with the usual health warnings that this is just one poll, but it’s very bad for Starmer & Labour. https://t.co/iRv6WsQZEn

Both Keir and Boris are talking down expectations for Hartlepool and the rest this Thursday. 

This despite the fact that the Tories look to win Hartlepool and a few more council seats, and the Labour/MSM wallpaper campaign showing some evidence of cut through with the voters.

Why the talk down from both?

We are not in normal times, the Tories are buoyed by the vaccine success, and Labour have had some cut through with the help of the MSM hatchet job on wallpaper. However, neither of these two issues will be with us foreever.

At some stage poeople will be focussing on what really matter:

-the economy

-jobs

-housing

-education

-health

-law and order

Farewell Arlene

 

It's the end of the road for Arlene Foster: 26 hours after dismissing the News Letter's report of growing discontent with her leadership and saying "I’ve bigger things to do", she has announced that she will resign as DUP leader. Full statement here: https://t.co/UCSBwmaA6X
