Will the Coronation overshadow likely Tory losses in the locals? – politicalbetting.com

There is some speculation that the potential Tory damage the party will do to local residents will be drowned out in terms of media coverage of Saturday’s Coronation. I’m sure that’s true but I don’t think it will help Sunak.

Over the long holiday weekend, there may not be much media coverage, but there can be no doubt – the main focus of Tory MPs is on whether the ward results in their constituencies can translate into seats in the general election.

This will be the first set of local elections since the Tory poll ratings were launched and it is possible that up to a thousand Tory councilors could find themselves having to give up their security and not receive a substantial “salary”. now accept.

Of course party leaders can be blamed and this could be an unpleasant weekend for the PM and many MPs.

At the campaign level, former councilors are less enthusiastic about the general election.
