Curtice tells me that the Tories are likely doomed to lose the election because they have not been able to recover from partygate and the mini-Budget His comments have been picked up by my wonderful lobby colleague @ArchieMitch_ for @Independent: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
🧵 Voters being cynical about politics isn’t surprising; but our Blackpool South focus group ahead of the by-election revealed a depth of distrust “pox on all their houses” & anger at “one rule for them” far beyond usual cynicism. @ArchieMitch_ write up ⬇️ independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Exclusive: Malik Karim, who has donated £1.6m to the Tories since 2014, won £1.7m of government contracts through his finance firm Fenchurch Advisory last year 🧐 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
It's been 10 years since Isis stormed to power in Iraq and Syria, as the world watched in horror. As the group claimed responsibility for the barbaric Moscow massacre, I travelled to former Isis territory and met survivors in Iraq - where the shadow of terror still looms large🧵

🚨 The Tories are failing Reagan’s test @ArchieMitch_ covers our poll finding that over half the public say they are worse off than 14 years ago, just 25% better & nearly 8 in 10 say the UK is worse off. Does it make “going back to square one” attractive? independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Better week did not last.
Given Sunak’s better week & this week sees NI cut in pay packets + state pension up 10% will be fascinating to see if polls move in May. If they do, maybe better economy/campaign can narrow things. If not suggests people just stopped listening & hard to see what will shift things
Tory MP and former health minister Dan Poulter has defected to Labour, saying this to @tobyhelm and The Observer which broke the story: “It feels to me that the Tory party has gone from being a pragmatic, centrist, centre-right party which focused on and understood the importance…
This defection means the Tories’ majority has nearly *halved* since the general election: from 80 seats to just 41.

BREAKING: Conservative MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich Dan Poulter has defected to Labour. He says the Conservatives have become a “nationalist party of the right” which has abandoned compassion and the NHS.

DEFECTION - Tory MP and former minister, Dr Dan Poulter, is quitting the party and has joined Labour - he tells me Tories no longer values public services he could no longer ‘look people in the eye’ and stay on as a Conservative - more on @BBCNews in a sec
Proud to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to the @UKLabour Party. As a frontline clinician, he’s seen the damage that 14 years of Conservative government have done to our NHS. Delighted to have his support and look forward to working with him, especially on mental health reform.

It’s fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to today’s changed Labour Party. It’s time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page, and get Britain’s future back. I’m really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey.
This week was being described as a “good week” for Rishi Sunak.

The thing about this clip is that it’s brilliant, but it’s not even the best part of the speech. ‘They live in a free country, but they do not feel free.’ A diagnosis that has more than stood the test of time.

Neither Labour nor the Tories reckon they can win West Midlands, if the two parties expectation management operations is to be believed. Is it too late for me to have a go?
