 @43d7c4ea Tend to agree with that. Starmer will hammer his working class roots. Sunak will throw red meat to the bigots, or Braverman will on his behest rather.
The Tories got too greedy and have done too much damage to their party for Labour not to win at this point though

 @43d7c4ea The Tories fundamentally do grubby Rightwing politics better than Labour. The Tories will accordingly get back into government immediately after Labour, with some fascist ERG ghoul helming them

There's an old saying in US Politics about the Democrats trying to move (further) rightwards:

Given the choice between the Republican Party & the republican party, voters choose the Republican Party.... so trying on the #Tories clothes may be dangerous if they fit too well.

(apologies for the tortured metaphor)
