The Mail warned that Starmer would wreck Britain in 100 days with his ‘supermajority’ and got owned into the next parliament
Until this general election campaign began, most people hadn’t heard the term supermajority. If they had, they would understand it to mean a requirement for a vote to meet a higher threshold than 50 per cent in order for a measure to pass.
For example, many people wanted the EU referendum to require at least two thirds to vote in favour of it because it was such an enormous change. Imagine how much easier life would be if they’d agreed.
However, the Conservatives have been using the term to mean a huge majority – you know …like 80 seats or something – and have been running a campaign based on scaremongering about what Labour might do with this redefined supermajority.
The Mail ran with it,

Well, they’ve now got two days to stop the ‘supermajority’, but their warning of the possible outcome of 100 days of an all-powerful Labour government haven’t been met with the level of trepidation they might have liked. In fact, people just massively took the piss.

I don't read the @DailyMailUK or the #MailOnSunday, but if you want to know what a newspaper group looks like when it's trying to send out a flare from the Titanic…catch their front pages …#GeneralElection2024 https://t.co/48rNRj6cze

Tory press has lost the plot.
Deranged headlines from the same people who backed the 49 day wrecking ball that was Liz Truss and cheered on the Tories while they tanked the economy and hammered household incomes.
And just look at the pitiful photo.
