Swinney may be only candidate after withdrawal of Graeme McCormick
Rishi Sunak’s prediction that the UK is headed for a hung parliament is “for the birds,” according to Ben Page, Ceo of polling company Ipsos. He told Times Radio that the situation is in Labour’s favour: I think it’s for the birds, to be honest, at the moment. If you look at the swing in Blackpool South, 30 per cent or so, you look at these local election results, which we haven’t seen anything of this kind since just before Labour won a landslide in 1997.
And finally, you look at Keir Starmer, and Keir Starmer isn’t particularly popular, but it’s always compared to what, if you look at how people rate Keir Starmer as best possible candidate for being prime minister with Rishi Sunak, he’s got double the score of Rishi Sunak. Sunak had claimed in an interview published today that the UK is heading for a hung parliament, as he urged his MPs to put a stop to divisions and “come together” to take on Labour.
