Exclusive: Labour enjoys mammoth poll lead as Tories' disastrous 2022 draws to a close
The Conservatives are on their third leader of the year and all the signs suggest they will be booted out of office at the next general election, which could be less than two years away
21:00, 29 Dec 2022
Labour enjoys a 26-point lead over the Tories heading into 2023, a study revealed tonight.
A People Polling survey for GB News puts Keir Starmer’s party on 45%, the Conservatives on just 19% and the Lib Dems on 8%.
Worryingly for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage’s latest electoral vehicle, the Reform Party, enjoys the support of 8% of voters.
Politics expert Professor Matt Goodwin said of the survey: "This is more bad news for Rishi Sunak and his team. The party’s recovery has not just stalled but now appears to be going backwards. Keir Starmer and the Labour Party begin 2023 in prime position, with more than enough support for a majority at the next general election."

The question isn't whether the conservatives will lose the next election but rather what will Labour do with a victory.
Not enough I fear, I fully expect to still see the UK outside of the EU at the end of Labour's term and the calls for Scottish Independence becoming deafening.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/ ... ation-planTue 28 Jun 2022
Channel 4 is preparing to sign a deal to keep its news programme on air for the next five years, meaning any new private sector owner could be locked into producing a show that has repeatedly angered Conservative ministers.
It comes as the broadcaster’s management team engage in an uneasy dance over its future, with the government increasingly annoyed that they are openly fighting attempts at privatisation.
“Name me one other company where the executives would be able to go out and actively oppose their shareholders,” said one government source, who suggested it would not be tolerated for much longer.
According to individuals involved in the process, Channel 4 is in a state of “phoney war” before publication of the government’s detailed plans on privatisation, expected in July. Parliament will then be asked to approve the proposals as part of a wider piece of media legislation in the autumn, with a sale potentially taking place in early 2023.
Among the potential bidders is the actor Idris Elba, who sources said was in early discussions with the TV production company Miroma. Both parties stressed their affection for the channel and a keenness for it to stay British.
The fate of Channel 4 is increasingly linked to Boris Johnson’s ability to remain as prime minister – and the ability of external lobby groups, TV industry representatives and actors to win the support of backbench Conservative MPs.
Channel 4 privatisation shouldn’t go ahead, culture secretary tells Rishi Sunak
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 55813.html1 hour ago
Culture secretary Michelle Donelan has recommended that the planned Channel 4 privatisation does not go ahead, a leaked letter has revealed.
Writing to Rishi Sunak, the cabinet minister said there are “better ways to ensure C4’s sustainability” than selling off the publicly-owned broadcaster.
The apparent U-turn follows plans announced by Boris Johnson’s government last year to privatise the channel, sparking outrage from opposition parties, Tory MPs and top media figures.
In a letter leaked to the News Agents podcast, Ms Donelan wrote: “After reviewing the business case, I have concluded that pursing a sale at this point is not the right decision.”
