Fantastic column by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social on an under-appreciated aspect of Labour's inheritance.
Labour ministers find that their newly active government stands on atrophying limbs
"If the next election offers a choice between an unloved government and an untrusted opposition they should know that the battlements of their 100-year duopoly have never looked more vulnerable." www.ft.com/content/0d7d...@robertshrimsley.bsky.social
The UK’s duopoly of Labour and Conservatives has never looked more vulnerable
Tories cannot afford to sit back and wait for the political pendulum to swing back their way. www.ft.com/content/2bff...
The contest to head up the defeated party must establish the Tories as the only serious opposition

The rain that soaked Sunak as he announced the election, struggling to be heard over an old Labour song, seemed a portent for what is coming. Things can only get wetter. The PM is rushing his MPs towards the guns But the calculation is that this is as good as it will get www.ft.com/content/030a...
With nothing on the horizon likely to dramatically improve, Sunak has decided to seize the economic moment
Like so many of the prime minister’s gambits, this move is a product of his political weakness. It is the play of a man who has run out of ideas and run out of options. A last gamble for a prime minister who has run out of road www.ft.com/content/030a...
