Even today the news is about double digit inflation, the last time we had that was back in 1982. Your fellow Conservatives have said that you need to be more critical of the PM candidates.

You'll find that where there is good news like the new Covid vaccine approval, people will generally be discussing it positively.

If our politicians are perceived to be lacking, lazy or misleading the public then expect them to be called to account. And expect those in power making and implementing policy to be given more scrutiny. This is not North Korea and it is right we hold our government to high standards. With power comes responsibility to deliver.

I predict she'll get through the full term.

I think what she's said and what she'll do may end up being a little different and she will edge us marginally closer to Europe (eg common veterinary standards, easier for some sectors to recruit from Europe) as this is a relatively painless way of taking some of the inflation out of the system.
