Sensible Sunak Can Beat The Odds And Triumph In 2024

The wind of change is blowing through Westminster. Newer, fresher, happier faces occupy the halls of power. They belong to Labour supporters, inevitably buoyed by poll leads and government missteps.

But before we think a Labour election victory is a foregone conclusion, take note of wise words of the great political strategist Lynton Crosby: "Polls are a snapshot in time, not a prediction". Things can and do- change.

The election isn't in the bag for either of the major players yet, so those restless Johnson supporters may wish to reflect on this before their nervousness overpowers them to stage a coup against Rishi Sunak.

For Conservatives, there are reasons to be cheerful. Yes, the latest round of YouGov polling doesn't show a significant shift in voting intention, but Sunak is closing the gap on who would make the better PM. And, if nothing else, we have returned to a much-needed period of dullness in British politics. Sunak is a stabilising force - though lacking in political razzmatazz, he may yet prove to be what the country needs in these baffling times.
