Johnny Mercer Calls Young Labour MP An "Inbetweener"
Labour failed to win Boris' old seat and return a Labour MP to Parliament. Labour has engaged in a lot of naval gazing as to why they didn't win the seat. However, Labour should not beat itself up too much. The Conservative retention of the Uxbridge seat was won very narrowly. In other times, the Conservatives would have walked it. Instead, they just about held Boris' old seat. So Labour came within a whisker of grabbing the seat from the Tories.

Sunak: Dire Polling.
Rishi Sunak promised to be whiter than white, open and transparent when he succeeded Boris. Sunak was once the rising star of the Conservative Party. He stood as leader and lost to Liz Truss. People thought that's it, game over for Wishy-Washy Rishi. However, because of a gross error in the economy made by Truss and her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, there followed yet another leadership contest. Boris considered entering it but didn't. Penny Mordaunt pulled out (and later became a minister in Sunak's cabinet) and Wishy-Washy Rishi's career was resurrected. As Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister.

'Stop The Boats' Policy is Sinking.
Boats have been crossing the English Channel for some time now. Year after year people take to dinghies paying criminals exorbitant prices for this. To take to craft, never designed, to carry hordes of people. Some sadly, capsize, in the English Channel. Often, with loss of life, while others do make it ashore. Most are picked up by Royal Navy or Coast Guard and RNLI craft and ferried to shore. They are held in detention centres, hotels, etc. What happens then is dependent on circumstances. One thing is clear, though, the UK has to be compassionate, but many people coming here illegally is putting a strain on our already shaky services.

Labour 20 Points Ahead.
If Sky News 'Poll of Polls' is accurate, Sir Keir has much to celebrate. His Labour Party has widened the vast canyon between them and the Conservatives. The Labour Party now has a 20% lead over the government. Since Boris stepped down as leader, along with the Liz Truss fiasco, when Sunak came to power, the Tories have been in the doldrums.
