Have they ever apologised for anything even to their own voters who backed them ?. I won't imagine they will to Labour even though its a massive own goal

I saw a suggestion that any Conservative majority of 15,000 or fewer is vulnerable. Not sure how good a metric that is but interesting none the less.

First TV leadership debate:
Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer will go head-to-head in their first televised debate of the general election on 4 June.
The two leaders will appear on ITV at 9pm for an hour, the channel has announced.
"Sunak v Starmer: The ITV Debate" will be moderated by journalist Julie Etchingham and will take place live in front of a studio audience.
The programme is the first in a series of head-to-head debates set to be held by various broadcasters.
Sky News is planning its own leaders' event in the key battleground seat of Grimsby and Cleethorpes, where we have been regularly reporting on the issues facing local residents.
Voters will be given the opportunity to put questions directly to the leaders.
Labour leader Sir Keir has agreed to attend, while negotiations are ongoing with Mr Sunak's team."

I wonder how it breaks down by constituency, presumably this is a UK wide poll. They'll narrow by polling day, apparently.

Depends on the seats needed, but I can imagine Lib Dems or Greens. Lib Dems they haven't called out in a war/fight. Greens would make them look good long term with their energy company, but would risk an SNP breakdown in future?

Don’t agree , just because the nodding heads are saying this doesn’t mean it’ll happen . There’s a VERY strong get the Tory’s out vibe , coupled with tactical voting I think things will be worse for the Tories than they can even envisage.

Think Labour will win a big majority but would prefer a coalition with The LibDems , who would/should hold their feet to the fire and make a closer realignment with the EU a prerequisite for a deal. Labour could then give in gracefully knowing this would be the best outcome and they’d save face from trying to appease those northern / midlands racist voters. Everybody wins 😉

SF don't attend Westminster, can't see DUP agreeing. That leaves SNP or Lib Dems both with about 40 seats. Green, PC, Alliance, UUP and odd independent will be fewer than 5 each so unlikely to be worth negotiating with. SNP would likely be too IndyRef2 focused so either a Lib Lab pact, formal coalition or run as minority government.
