Down to ultimately. the cost of living crisis people are struggling with. if the conservatives can manage to get on top of inflation and handle the economy in such a way that people feel they are slightly better off at the beginning and end of this than they were at the beginning then they have a chance at the next election but that looks really tough to do given the broader picture and the fact that rishi sunak doesn t have the direct mandate a conservative party members makes that even harder to try and get his team on board and i ve been struck over the last few days talking to tory mps how despondent they are really about their chances running up to the next election and critically how they don t have the fire of rebellion in their bellies. they think they are going to limp on in the election and many think it will be a fatal complete. many think it will be a fatal complete- many think it will be a fatal comlete. , ., ., complete. somebody, a former minister, described complete. somebody, a former minister, described it complete. somebody, a former minister, described it to - complete. somebody, a former minister, described it to me - complete. somebody, a former minister, described it to me as| complete. somebody, a former. minister, described it to me as a depressive apathy, there wasn t much they could do about it but let s see. there was no despondency in liverpool last night and at the beginning of the programme i promised you that we would hear from

There you can see with a prominent picture of the prime minister and the question, do you think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison? rishi sunak doesn t. now conservatives have criticised it. others in labour have criticised it as well. the shadow former shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell, calling for it to be taken down. of course he s not someone who s associated with the labour leadership at the moment under sir keir starmer. but interestingly yesterday the shadow culture secretary, lucy powell, distanced herself somewhat when being interviewed on bbc breakfast from the ad itself, but said she stood by the message that it was aiming to get across. so a lot of political discussion about this and perhaps unsurprisingly, because local elections looming next month across england and crime, law and order is one subject which both main parties will be keen to press hone their message on. can we talk about the figures then that labour have used in this? i see that the bbc s reality check
