Liz Truss is now as unpopular with voters as Boris Johnson when he was ousted, says veteran pollster.

The Labour Party are "very clearly the favourites" to form the next government, pollster Sir John Curtice has told Tory activists in Birmingham.

"The truth is, whatever the merits of Liz Truss's package, it has resulted in very serious electoral damage to the Conservatives as an institution and to this new leader," he told the Demos fringe meeting. In the event of a hung Parliament, opposition parties would be unlikely to prop up a minority Tory administration, he suggested, which made Labour clear favourites to gain power.

He said the party's MPs had to start communicating with voters in a language they understood, and talking about things which mattered to them. "People are feeling poorer," she added, and they don't think the solutions Liz Truss has come up with "make any sense". "Thatcher was always a strong leader," she told the meeting, "but she was of the people, she spoke in their language".

You obviously don't have to be Sir John Curtice to guess that Labour are the favourites to win the next General Election. That doesn't mean they will. Much can happen in politics in 2 years as Sir John knows better than anyone.

In the absence of David Miliband, to win outrightly & clearly, the Labour party must present Rachel Reeves as the leader, otherwise, a hung parliament is their best chance of getting close to power.

I don’t think many would bet against that at the moment eh?

If the next general election was going to be next week this would be interesting. As the next election won't be for two years it's not. In January 1981 IpsosMORI had Labour 10% ahead. In June 1983 Mrs. Thatcher was 15% ahead of Michael Foot.

In two years 😂

Trading has been a lot easier. I invested A thousand dollars and got a good and massive return in few days. SolinaC_DTrader skills and accountability has been be best all thanks to her.

Wow! What foresight!

I'd fucking hope so. A potato stands more chance of winning an election at this point.

Stop telling Lies.

Only one problem with this. Truss will not be PM by the time of the scheduled election.

Nope.

Please be the voice of Iranians mahsaamini opiran مهسا_امینی

Don’t get to cocky Neil Kinnock thought that and came crashing down which he really didn’t expect. Not sure he ever got over that !

In front of Sharif_University it looks like a battlefield. Families are very worried. shot sounds is heard. The smell of tear gas is everywhere. No one knows how many students stayed inside and how many people were arrested and injured. MahsaAmini

Things can’t get that bad that would be a disaster 😳

Well you don't say.

It’s statistically impossible for Labour to win a general election, unless of course Conservatives decide not to vote.

More BBC propaganda

What's he drinking?

Sounds as sane as he looks.

Just a little premature don't you think?

Also the BBC Active labour activist channel 😡😡😡😡

The students of ‌ Sharif_University⁩ in Tehran are trapped by the agents of the Islamic Republic. The world should hear the voice of students asking for help. Students are surrounded and cannot leave. The students are shot with shotguns and paintballs. ‌ MahsaAmini⁩

No, never going to happen, no matter how much you lot at the BBC try to get them in power! DefundTheBBC

Ok but all gov’ts are corrupt and following bankster 2030 agenda.

If Labour can do it!

Conservatives would be more at home in Rwanda! Plenty of seats available on the plane and the engine is still running! Great opportunity for levelling up.

You'd love that wouldn't you. More bias from the BBC.

Labour funded!

Liz Truss admits disruption after tax cut pledgesThe prime minister acknowledges her economic plans will 'involve disruption in the short term'. Thanks to the BBC for causing the disruption Thanks to Brexit and Covid, I’m of the view that whoever is in the PM post, be it a Tory or Whig or even LibDem or whoever, that PM would simply have to take this type of budget risk one day or another. It’s a global recession. Rest of the world will follow, I’m sad to say. 😔 No public sector organisation works… now they want to give them even less money. I wonder what will happen? 🤔
