Will the voters at the next G/E feel they can ever trust the Cons again...(end of..)

Your missing my point teacake. I'm just agreeing that Sunak has done well in the popularrity steaks giving out the money but am saying also am not sure his going to be anywhere near as popular when he try's to recover it all back. Weve already seen the complaints about next years NI and the Universal Credit, VAT on hospitality going back up a bit soon, and even some are unhappy that hes stopping furlough shortly. If he raise taxes and is still popular then he deserves to be PM for along time (tho am hoping Kier gets in first)
Kier is no better than Boris, he's got the same ambition, just wants to get to be a PM, he couldn't run a toffee apple stall. Throughout covid he's avoided every question put to him, when asked what would you do about this and that, do you agree with this or that, blank every time. The rises you have mentioned will soon be forgotten about because like I say most know its got to be paid.
“ did see a deranged sick looking overweight woman in a red dress waving to Keir but she was drowned out by the standing ovation”
That was the woman with the visor over her face? I saw that. Scary. Not sure if the mask was to protect her or the people sat next to her :-)
Anyway, from if the comments here it feels as though they are the ones out of touch: there’s a very distinct move away from the Cornynite policies. It was Christmas every day for those who want Labour to conform to their stereotype - which they were doing from 2015-19, something which united an unlikely combination of the hard left and irresponsible Tories. Small wonder Sir Keir compared his hecklers to the parliamentary hecklers at PM’s question time

Desperate when politicians start telling their back story.
Norman Tebbits dad’s bike to Angela Rayner being abandoned in a trolley in KwikSave and brought up by weasels on the Cheshire Ring Canal, are frankly boring.
Apparently Starmer’s dad was a tool maker. And he looked like a right tool on the podium today.

Tebbit's dad and his bike was hardly sentimental though(!)
I agree that all this stuff about one's family is a bit cringeworthy but it is deemed necessary to play to the heart strings, as well as the purse strings.
As previously mentioned, Starmer has done ok: he has had an almost impossible job, what with the debacle of 2019, the inevitable disappointment and nastiness from the anti-semites and anti-common sense brigade when they realised he'd cheated them on the stuff about remaining true to some aspects of Corbynism (what, seriously,, did they expect?)
And the pandemic restrictions, which have left most people, as they do in a crisis, clinging to the powers that be. It's been much easier for Johson, given his position and given his style, to maintain a higher profile. Starmer will have to bide his time until the charlatan's medicine is proved to be fake.
But how many expected the achievements of Blair (without mentioning the B word admittedly) to be listed and cheered by a Labour conference audience as early as 2021. And to hear Starmer admit "If people think this government is rubbish, then what does that say about us?!" - could you begin to imagine that coming from his predecessor. It's only a start, but it IS a start.
