According to YouGov things are not as rosy for Johnson as some would have you believe.

Starmer now has a higher net leadership rating than Johnson

Starmer +23
Johnson +22

Starmer's ratings have considerably improved, while Johnson's declined by 18 points.
And that's just on the 1922 committee!

Be a sad day if the public voted on leader likeability rather than party manifesto.

They did in 2019, not commenting on the Labour manifesto but the Tories one was basically the back of an envelope.

But didn't that more or less happen in the last election? Many people would have voted for Labour based on their manifesto but wouldn't because they didn't like Corbyn. Surely leader likeability is pretty much part and parcel of who you decided to vote for?

I see Starmer has written to Johnson post PMQ's asking him to clarify one of the whoppers he told.

It was for both reasons in 2019! Easiest decision in years.

That's been happening for years, our elections have become increasingly presidential since the 70s.

2019 was more than just about the leaders, convincing result.

Which parts of the Tory manifesto, which I assume you read when making your choice on policy rather than leader, convinced you to vote for them?
