Are You Surprised?

I bet some of you saw this coming...

Hello all and welcome back to another edition of Heaver News! I trust you are all doing well.

So, are you surprised? It appears - despite Rishi Sunak’s personal popularity having fallen recently - that Labour’s lead could suddenly be shrinking.

This comes of course after Sunak’s announcement that the green Net Zero agenda would be watered down a bit, a move that delighted many who want to see a more pragmatic, common sense approach from the Government.

Before I get to that though, some comments from paid subscribers in response to last week’s post.

Lia is certainly not trusting what the Prime Minister has had to say:

“Sunak is deluded if he thinks he's in with a chance of being voted in again.

“From here to Election Day the Conservatives are going to come up with all really good ideas, which they didn't do whilst they were in power.

“Should they get in again, all those ideas will disappear and it will be back to what we have now. I don't trust them at all. If Reform don't win, England is sunk.”

RW52 is similarly sceptical of the Tories and Labour as well:

“The bottom line is do we trust what Labour or Conservatives say...I do not.

“This is looking better and better for Reform UK.”

Mrs. Bucket seems a tad more optimistic about Reform’s prospects now:

“It's good news that Tice has taken the 'build a team' advice, now it's time to take the gloves off. The LibLabCon are such easy targets.

“Reform could make history if they got their act together but there isn't much time.”

Whilst Zorro questioned what took Sunak so long:

“It's almost as if Sunak's been asleep. Has Boris, in ecoloon mode, woken him up?

“Has one of the Spads read a newspaper? Heaver News? Facebook? Shown them to the Boss?”

It doesn’t take a genius to work out what voters want to see from a Conservative Government: strong borders, low taxes, energy independence and maximising Brexit opportunities such as reducing immigration.

And it appears even just this Sunak intervention on Net Zero may have already slightly changed the electoral dynamics.
