The YouGov Tory lead being down to 4% from 13% is a deflating vaccine bubble as vaccinated voters recoil at the breath-taking incompetence and selfishness of a thoughtless, arrogant Prime Minister. Johnson’s them and us divide, regarding himself and his elite circle to be above laws imposed on the little people, finally appears to be hitting home. Universal Credit not Covid may prove Starmer’s second chance after surviving a near-death experience in Batley and Spen. Household costs are if anything higher now than they were last year when the Universal Credit uplift was introduced, plunging back into poverty those temporarily hauled out by it. Lose the poll lead and he’ll no longer be able to float above disasters.
