Governments lose elections more than oppositions win them. If the Tory Party was competent and the economy was running well then it wouldn't matter who led Labour or what their policies were, the Tories would likely win the next election.
When the vaccine rollout was a success, the country opened up and the economy rebounded on that reopening then the Tories were flying. Labour looked doomed. But then the Tories had self-inflicted gaff after gaff. That should be the biggest regret for Johnson because the things that did him weren't ambitious policies but extracurricular nonsense he got involved in for no political gain.
Really the cost of living crisis has only really started in the last couple of months and the worst of the energy crisis is to come. Most of their polling lead was due to these stupid mistakes

Well there is still some way until the election and you don't announce too much before then. They do need to start making it clear what a Labour Government would look like though. This energy cap freeze and the windfall tax (which the Tories did adopt in the end) are the main things we've seen them announce.
