I wonder to what extent the right-wing media (Harry Cole, et al) will dial *down* the attacks once the GE is imminent and the polls haven't dramatically narrowed? After all, they'll all want access post-GE, and the Conservative headbangers will no longer have any significance, even if any of them retain their seats.

Will there be a certain amount of caution creeping in as the year draws on? Or will they continue to be loyal clients even as the Conservatives suffer electoral catastrophe?

Because, short of a scandal that really sticks to Keir Starmer personally, I don't see any way the Conservatives can avoid a crushing defeat. Or am I being naive here?
