After twenty years of supporting the Conservatives, The Sunday Times now stands with Labour

Sunday times, one of Britain's largest quality newspapers, endorsed Labor in a Sunday editorial for the first time in more than twenty years. The caption read: “The Conservative Party has lost its right to govern.” “Get to work.”

The paper criticizes both parties for avoiding “meaningful debate with the public.” But the Conservatives, as the Conservatives are also known, who have governed for the past 14 years, are taking a harder hit. “The period since 2016 has been marked by political chaos that has catastrophically distracted the political elite from the issues that matter most to voters: health care, education and the economy.”
