Kay Burley had the best response to a cabinet minister who said Labour’s 20% poll lead was ‘wafer thin’
Say what you like about Labour and the Conservatives – please – but one thing that surely isn’t in doubt is the scale of the lead the opposition currently has in polling over Rishi Sunak’s government.
Long way to go before an election, obviously, but the numbers can’t be disputed. Or can they?
We only mention it after Conservative MP and work and pensions secretary Mel Stride told Kay Burley on Sky News today that the Labour lead was ‘wafer thin’.
And Burley’s response wins all our votes today.

When someone is prepared to speak such nonsense, you have to conclude this person is not fit to serve others, and the weight of responsibility that brings.
