Tuesday 2nd July - T minus 2

Your bite-size run-down of yesterday's key events

Tory turf

Starmer was banging the Labour drum in three constituencies won by the Tories in 2019, with visits to the normally true-blue counties of Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, where the Labour leader urged supporters to make sure they come out and vote amid Tory talk of a Labour “supermajority”. As Richard Osman points out, <[link removed]> the phrase supermajority is meaningless in UK politics.

Varying appraoches

Forced to adopt a slightly different approach, Sunak spent the day in what were once safe seats in Staffordshire. This included Stoke-on-Trent North, where the problematic deputy chairman of the Conservative Party Jonathan Gullis is standing but almost certain to lose, trailing by a substantial 18 pts.

Poll bounce

Ed Davey took his whacky campaigning efforts to new heights by taking part in a bungee jump in Sussex, to urge voters to take a similar “leap of faith” and back the Lib Dems. He then shimmied on down at a zumba class in Gloucestershire. At B4B HQ we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a human cannon next…

Cutting costs

In a rare piece of good news, the UK energy price cap dropped, meaning millions of households will pay lower gas and electricity bills over the coming summer months, with the typical household bill dropping by £122 a year. Costs are, however, expected to rise again in October.

Across the pond

The US Supreme Court ruled that while Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for “official acts” taken in office, he is not immune for “unofficial acts”. The ruling will have a huge impact on cases connected to his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
