The Daily Torygraph. Used to be a decent, albeit rather Right Wing, newspaper. Traditionally, the paper of choice of Retired Colonels.
Used to be a popular newspaper. Certainly the best selling Broadsheet.
Withdrew from the main auditing body for newspaper circulation years ago, when its readership had already plummeted far more than other newspapers.
The only point of interest is whether it might be the first paper to support Reform. It (and its few readers) certainly regard Sunak as a woolly Liberal.
And the Headline? There is a rather simple reason why Streeting (or anyone else) cannot "rule out" Council Tax rises.
Simply because they are set by Local Govt. Not Central Govt. How desperate is that Headline?
PS. There was an earlier Headline you quoted (from the Times) which said Sunak must "go for the jugular" and "personal attacks on Starmer are the only option". They only become the "only option" if you have lost the War on Policy, Direction for the Future, and the Economy...
I just call the telegraph "burn baby burn" in relation to the planet. they are rather disingenious when reporting on climate change and the enviroment they seem to have a dark agenda.

Keir Starmer squirms in humiliating LBC phone-in as caller demands 'yes of no' answer
But in Scotland, this Westminster vote will be the first – other than the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election – at which the Tories’ new voter ID laws are in place.

Hi Rab
The first time it was required in the UK was in the local elections in England in May 2023. See....
https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/research-reports-and-data/our-reports-and-data-past-elections-and-referendums/voter-id-may-2023-local-elections-england-interim-analysis
And here's the current situation;
https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need
https://www.thenational.scot/news/24339200.will-need-photo-id-vote-general-election-scotland/
Former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson was turned away from his local polling station after forgetting to bring acceptable photo ID.
As first reported by Sky News, he returned later with the necessary ID and was able to vote.
He cast his ballot in South Oxfordshire, where voters are choosing a police and crime commissioner.
New rules requiring photo ID to vote were introduced by Mr Johnson's government in the Elections Act 2022.
The change was rolled out last year, with local elections in May 2023 the first time voters needed to show ID.
According to the Electoral Commission, about 14,000 people were unable to vote in last year's local elections in England as a result of the new rules.
