There's no lack of monuments to the Tories' 14 years of utter destruction and callous incompetence, but we should never forget this one.
Seven years today 🕯️ 💚
Pollster Rob Ford, some thoughts:
"Rishi Sunak’s net satisfaction rating of -53 is the worst recorded by MORI one month out from an election in all of the elections they have covered since 1979 - worse than Gordon Brown in 2010 (-36), John Major in 1997 (-46) or James Callaghan in 1979 (-33).
"The net rating of the Sunak government is, at -71, the worst approval of any British government MORI have asked about on the brink of an election...
"More than two thirds of British voters tell MORI the government doesn’t deserve to be re-elected next month, nearly three quarters say it is time for a change, and four fifths say the government has done a bad job. All of these figures are now at the highest level since Sunak took office...
"While a miracle of late persuasion cannot be ruled out, at present the most relevant question for Conservative MPs isn’t “can we win?” but rather “can any of us survive?”"
ORG developed our UK General Election Manifesto from the Digital Rights 24 Agenda.

"The data shows Rishi Sunak’s government approved 42 military export licences to Israel between 7 October and 31 May, while no licences for military goods were refused or cancelled"
This "...could open up British ministers to international arrest applications over complicity in war crimes"
“The Conservative government and the UK arms trade are complicit in the horrendous war crimes that Israel is committing against Palestinian..."
Sub 100 seats for this lot 😂🤣 (and definitely worth a watch ...)
"The chairman of the Tory Party has abruptly ended an interview with Sky News after he refused to answer questions on his chicken run to a seat in the South.
Richard Holden was asked why he claimed to be "bloody loyal to the North East" before switching to a constituency in Essex. After repeatedly failing to answer the question, a Conservative press officer interrupted to say the interview would be terminated"
The Telegraph: Conservative MPs defy party bosses to take cash from Laurence Fox’s funder
"Multi-millionaire Jeremy Hosking has offered £5,000 each to Tories who sign up to Reclaim party’s key pledges"
"The commitments are leaving the European Court of Human Rights, repealing the Human Rights Act, banning all forms of gender reassignment for children and reforming the Equality Act to eliminate sex- and race-based discrimination"
