I think you're right - people are desperate for anything other than the Tories.

We have a political environment where the Greens are smeared as "crazies", people remember the Lib Dems for their deception, and mass media has many believing Reform will win if they don't vote for Labour. A Labour win is all but guaranteed, so Starmer doesn't need to be the other cheek of the Monoparty arse - he chooses to be.

But would the media have abandoned the Conservatives if Labour were offering something much different?
