Even if a deal was done I imagine a lot of the reform voters who would have voted for Boris won’t be excited by Rishi, there isn’t a wedge issue like brexit this time around propelling people towards the voting booth.
Jimm-

I think cost of living and collapsing public services will be a wedge issue by the time a GE comes around. Or even Brexit again, seeing as there is so much voter regret over the fact it's basically made life worse for the people who were told it'd make life better.

Not automatically but certainly within the bounds of possibility that a deal could be done , especially with the Tories approaching last roll of the dice territory (if they aren’t already there).
Add in all the inevitable attacks on Starmer - Saville, woke, Corbyn, doesn’t know what a women is etc - and suddenly you’ve got shy voters back in the game and 35% is within
reach
(I concede that I’m being pessimistic but don’t think it’s over until it actually is)
