A lot of Conservative voters would come out of the woodwork if a Labour landslide was predicted.

Regardless of the chaos, a lot of blue voters just couldn't ever vote for Labour government and a lot of them won't admit it in a poll.

Polls are an emotive measure.

But I think it's pretty obvious Labour would win.
A lot of die-hard Tory voters will be saying they'll never vote Tories again. Johnson was the fuse wire, Truss is the rocket. :D

Once an election is on the cards the right wing media will spring into action to scare the voters about Labour and to vote Tory

Chris Bryant claims there was chaos, shouting, angry finger-pointing and a male MP was manhandled into the room.

Jacob Rees-Mogg says no such thing happened. But he also claims Johnson was the best prime minister we've had and that Truss is the right person to bring stability to the economy. :D

That headline was for 2017 when Labour under Corbyn got 40% of the vote, The Sun is now busted flush, massive drop in readership since its heyday.

Daily Mail reports a 90-minute shouting match between the PM and former home secretary. Resignation speech tomorrow. :D

87 MPs ready to cross the floor but government will refuse to resign or seek kings permission to dissolve parliament and call a general election.

Basically government will seek to carry on day by day causing markets to fall off a cliff, creating misery for millions.
