LONDON — The U.K.'s general election campaign has now passed the halfway mark, and finally the main political parties have published their plans for government should they win on July 4.
Few voters will ever read the documents, but the messaging from the two big parties is already clear. Quizzed individually by Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby, Sunak and Starmer then had to contend with the questions from an audience of straight-talking locals.Starmer drew laughter after he was left briefly speechless when an audience member accused him of being a “political robot,” while Sunak revealed details of his “appalling” high-sugar diet on the campaign trail. “Enormous” amounts of the chocolate bar Twix and Haribo sweets, apparently.
“The current stable picture suits Labour just fine,” said Rob Ford, professor of political science at the University of Manchester. “But a stable campaign piles further pressure on Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives who are now staring down the barrel of a historic defeat.” Rep. Andy Ogles suggested that Hunter Biden’s conviction in the federal gun charges case could create “an opening” for Michelle Obama to make a bid for the White House.
