Rishi Sunak says Britain would go ‘back to square one’ with Labour ahead of first major campaign event of year – UK politics live

Prime minister to speak in north-west of England as MP says Tories have to accept ‘we have left the country sadder and less united’

The article writer has a good summary:

There are three types of campaign you can run during an election: ‘it’s time for a change’ (normally an opposition message, but a governing party can also campaign like this, as Boris Johnson did in 2019); ‘give us time to finish the job’ (the standard incumbent’s message); or (the last resort option) ‘you might not like us, but at least we’re not as bad as the other lot’.

All this albatross can tell is, if he’s saying that, there’s an election a coming.

    The Labour party is currently trying not to give the Tories any ammunition to use against them in an election campaign. That’s why they seem to be aligning themselves with the current Conservative talking points. Come a successful general election they will back away from the Tory position and make some changes. I fucking hope.
