Yes, Sir Kier is in a difficult place at the moment. Whilst polls do show he is in front voters are fickle and a man that cant define a woman thus alienating the best part of 50% of voters together with not being able to slate ridiculous Union claims and strikes by a Commie clearly aimed at bringing the Government down (which wont happen) is best to keep quiet.
It must be really frustrating for Sunak (nee Truss and Johnson) smashing PMQs 10-0 every week (if you ask Tora), and then the electorate give Labour a 20 point lead in poll after poll.
