Ha ha ha.
If Farage returns we could well see them collapse down to third position - which is terminal in a FPTP electoral system.
The PM can request The King to dissolve Parliament and call an election at any point from now until January 2025. It's difficult to tell when they'll go for, but you can see a situation where with polling like this they hold off as long as possible in the hope that *something* comes along to save them. On the other hand, that could just mean the rot spreads even further. Sir Keir Starmer may as well start measuring for curtains.
Historians will surely look back on this government and ask just how did the Tories throw it all away. It's so disheartening.
