    The tory Party isn’t the pm, it’s likely what they want - which is useful power - doesn’t fit into this thinking.

    What’s better, an extra few months of nothing particularly useful that can be reversed as soon as they lose government or focusing on GE 2029.

    The fact is that the next few years in Britain is going to be absolutely dire, and being able to point at Labour through that is probably the next messaging. The sooner they can get Labour to try (and likely fail) to deal with the mess they created, the better their GE 2029 prospects are

    They also likely want to retain as many seats as they have now, they aren’t going to retain more by waiting.

      Labour won’t reverse any of the damage they can do now, so they’ll do as much as they possibly can. They’re in it for the power, and the wealth they can extract. The Tory MO, of course, but especially this generation of Tories. They have no politics bar the advancement of themselves and the people who will end up giving them overpaid jobs. Sunak doesn’t need to work for a living but the pay off for him and his ilk is orders of magnitude greater than what we pay him to do the job.

        His ilk, want jobs in five years, they want the power in five years. They want to ensure that more than they want six months more power this year.
