The only path to a tiny majority, is that voters are so unenthused by Starmer, that lots just vote independent/green/sit it out. But there is absolutely no forward momentum by Tories to take back some of the vote.

maybe i will be wrong and labour will romp home with the biggest majority ever, but Starmer just doesn't feel like the kind of guy to achieve that and while there may be some vocal condemnation of Sunak, the average tory will carry on voting tory irrespective of the leader, the same way that labour voters do
