Keir Starmer obviously does not believe that he has a 20-point lead, or he would not be coming out with any of this. He may or may not have no idea how the money supply works, but there are people around him who do. Even his "favourite economist", Rachel Reeves, whose definition of not being a plagiarist is a textbook definition of plagiarism, yet who will glide into an academic sinecure to match those of her sycophantic reviewers.
But when I tell you that there is going to be a hung Parliament, then you can take that to the bank. I spent the 2005 Parliament saying that it was psephologically impossible for the Heir to Blair's Conservative Party to win an overall majority. I predicted a hung Parliament on the day that the 2017 General Election was called, and I stuck to that, entirely alone, all the way up to the publication of the exit poll eight long weeks later. And on the day that Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister, I predicted that a General Election between him and Starmer would result in a hung Parliament.

It contested every seat that turned from red to blue in the North East, for a start. It kept its deposit at most of them, including here. The same patterns were seen across the North, the Midlands, South Wales, and the Red Wall corner of North Wales.
