b'Is the UK\\u2019s 2024 general election a foregone conclusion, with the Labour Party some 20 points ahead in the opinion polls? Can Rishi Sunak turn around the economy in time? Is there enough difference between the two main parties on the issues that voters care most about \\u2013 the cost of living crisis, the NHS and immigration?
