Theresa May loses two senior Downing St advisers in one week

eh, in fairness Corbyn has been doing the most media visibility stuff. All the other leaders are banging heads together trying to sort out what the hell to say on their manifestos. Even the tories, because even most of them didn't know this was coming, but still have opinions on their party policy direction.

Still plenty of time for all the scooby gang to get involved. Corbyn is probably being heavily pushed, and will be through the whole election to try and get him familiarised and presented positively as much as possible to try and gain ground for labour.

Given Corbyn's popularity rating is potentially their biggest difficulty, Really smashing the positive Corbyn angle straight away, hard, and as much as possible, to make him look better than May as much as possible, is probably the best strategy for labour.

The real test of it will be if their messages have punch, if they get to their needed audience who might vote for them in the right seats, and if they don't get drowned out when everyone else really actually starts campaigning.
