It will probably do him some good.
His core base will be moaning "....oh the entitled youth of today....not like in my day..."

james100, agent69, you might well be right. I don't think you are, and I'm a long way from being confident in Labour providing effective government but I've just had enough. Almost everything they've touched has turned to proverbial. They squandered every opportunity available to them. And they've engaged in some very, very nasty politics / positioning / messaging. I'm sick and tired of it.

james100 , agent69 , you might well be right. I don't think you are, and I'm a long way from being confident in Labour providing effective government but I've just had enough. Almost everything they've touched has turned to proverbial. They squandered every opportunity available to them. And they've engaged in some very, very nasty politics / positioning / messaging. I'm sick and tired of it. Cut me and I'm probably blue in the middle, at the last local election I voted Labour because the Independents here are useless ( Politest word I could think of ) but I can't bring myself to vote Conservative, my Labour MP is simply not interested in us the constituents just photo opportunities. So It will be read the bumf and decide. Honestly I can see the demise of the Conservative party with a right wing joining up with reform and the centralists moving towards the Lib dems. I feel like many of us on here forgotten, I got no help during covid despite it almost shutting my business down, I didn't get any of the cost of living payments ( apart from the £400 for gas and electric ), or the extra winter fuel money last year, my NI hasn't changed as I'm self employed. So I got relatively little out but like everyone I will be paying more tax for years ( probably the rest of my life ) to restore the nations finances

As a friend of mine who serves in the navy just said to me - "These people are in charge of peoples lives and act with near impunity from the consequences of their ridiculous decision and lies, if I acted like they did I would be court martialled and either sacked or sent to prison. Without fear of consequence they have no incentive to perform to any sort of standard".

My sense is that standards in public life, more specifically national political public life, are not anything like they used to be. There will always be bad 'uns, but its the tolerance of what would once have been intolerable that sticks in the craw.
I don't think this observation is an age thing.

Could anyone hear Nige on Radio 4 Today? I could only hear Mischa Hussein spraying him with grief. Glorious, wasn't it? He got his odious arse handed to him on a plate. Well no. Did he get in 10 words? It sounded like she just wanted to blow off hot air by interviewing herself . No idea why he was invited to feed her lines. 'Today' is just all mee mmee. They don't need news or input, just a mirror.

If Labour get in, will there be a stock market dip? VWRL is still on a higher than average trajectory and I'm looking for a point to pay into my pension.

I'm not sure what you mean by "higher than average trajectory". Generally, share prices tend to rise over time. So, a tracker will spend much of its time at or near an all time high. VWRL is a world tracker with market capitalisation weightings. So, only 3.7% of the fund is invested in UK shares. It's no secret that Labour will win the election. So, any perceived result of that will already be baked into the current share prices.

I'll be honest, I was looking at it's 'all time' graph, if one roughly put a ruler through it, recent times look higher than it's former rough average, on sight. Others are also highish.

By my reckoning, VWRL is 2 standard deviations above its long term trend line.
I sold in April above £100 and did not expect it to rise much further. 
Maybe I got that wrong...
