Re: Some good news.

So do you think then that Tory-voting Christians volunteer in food banks just out of a sense of guilt for what their government does?

No I don't think most of them have a clue of the irony of the situation

I think most of them are bored and if they were told that voting conservative is leading to food banks they would be completely horrified or look at me as if I was speaking in tounges

Re: Some good news.

They probably mean well but to me it’s a total contradiction to support a party that favours rich people over poor and tries to demonise the most vulnerable. It’s great to help in such ways but there’s obviously no mental connection between this and their political views as they are complete opposites.

I think there is either not a lot going on upstairs or they know the score and are just bored

One of my mothers friends was such a wet tory , nice enough , always out collecting for Christian Aid but either no idea or very aware but it was all a cover

I don't think it matters anymore. A year ago maybe sunak would have been able to gain political capital and a few points in the polls from spinning something like this as a personal success. It now just seems like every day people drop away, polls get worse and by not calling an election they are just poisoning the brand more and more.

I don't think there is long left to this now, consistent polling below or around the 20 mark is going to heap so much pressure. If they ended up there in a general election (usual caveats of shy Tories, campaign bounce etc.) it would make corbyn's loss look like a success.

I was thinking a may election looked likely when it was 8/1, it's now about 3/1. I can't see how a November election works, on the back of a summer of boat crossings and what are likely to be awful council elections in may. Might be wishful thinking though.
