Next PM
Whilst all that is going on, following the local by-elections at the start of the month, there has also been movement in the Next PM betting, with Liz Truss, the former favourite having dropped in the betting and Current Leader of the Labour Party Kier Starmer currently the 5/1 favourite. Although support for Starmer has dropped somewhat since he was 6/4 back in January.
