Precisely as pollsters predicted, the Tories are benefiting from a vaccine bounce. Yet while the “vaccine bounce” is inevitable, the opposition and its supporters would do well to keep calm: it won’t last. Without at least level-pegging on economic trust, Labour can never win. For now, Labour should continue to hammer this government’s serial outrages – and soon enough, its better answers will be heard. Catastrophic youth unemployment is worsening, the government’s “kickstart” scheme is already failing and Labour will always do social programmes better.
