There suddenly seems to be a rash of PPBs almost as if a general election was in the offing.
Am I missing something as to why?

Some local government - and for some places (including here in Bedford) with elected mayors - mayoral elections are coming up. I assume the parties can't ignore such things.

Re: Why party political broadcasts, now?
Do we have political parties any more?
Labour fell apart over Corbyn.
Tories fell apart over Brexit.
Libdems crushed by coalition experience.
Even the SNP now mired in problems with their leaders.
Who's next? Is the DUP now the most functional party in parliament?

Surely that won't be until May, will it?

and of course we (? certainly I !) am constantly told local elections have nothing to do with westminster/national party politics.

The referendum was intended to unite the Tory party.

The reality is that the referendum has spread the Tory factionalism into the public at large.
