For 13 months now #labour has led every single poll - since October by an average over 20%

The #toriesOut have nothing left to offer except to their shrinking base of aging #kippers - #starmer will be strolling into #downingSt in 2024 barring an extraordinary event

Well I think not until #Starmer safely in #DowningSt and #Labour have had a chance to look at the books. I suspect they already have back channels to the #EU about what is possible to discuss in the short term. Without a manifesto commitment #SM with the concommitant #FoM is a no-no, and any inclusion in the #2024LabourManifesto would IMO threaten obtaining a majority/

@peterbeal

#Turnout is often down in a #by-election - particularly when the erstwhile MP is out in disgrace yet the same partyy is pretty much nailed on to win

Not much to comfort the #ToriesOut in the result - #Starmer on course to occupy #DowningSt in 2024

My heroine (#writing #London #1819) has to visit lots of government offices incl the #ColonialOffice, 14 #DowningSt sketched in 1827 by JC Buckler, just after the expansion into no.12.

There's also a floor plan (appeals to the nerd in me) so my heroine's movements are period appropriate. The little room on the right is where #Wellington & #Nelson met for the 1st &only time, a month before Nelson's death.
A wonderful account of the meeting in Wellington's own words here: https://bityl.co/FZxi
