Good afternoon. If you have noticed a mood of inertia descend on the election campaign, you are probably onto something.
Now that all of the UK-wide parties have launched their manifestos, with the SNP to follow tomorrow, all of the set pieces with the potential to consequentially shift the course of the national race are out of the way. It is too early to call the result, but it is not too early to say that barring something major and unforeseen happening, Labour are very likely to win. And if I’m repeating myself, that’s because nothing much seems to be changing.
