When will the insane English age-gap start to pay dividends for labor?

Isn't this just a repeat of what happened when Tony Blair won.  While he did much better with older voters, I believe Tory support was in low 20s in 1997, 2001 & 2005 but then bounced up to 30% in 2010.  Most likely it bites the Tories in the 2030s, but they retool as well as once Labour is in government, invariably some will be unhappy so my thinking is millennials won't switch over as long as Tories are in power, but once Labour has been in office for a few years, enough will be invariably disappointed that they will switch over to Tories thus allowing them to come back.

Unlike their Canadian counterparts who do have a long history of losing and being stuck in past, British Tories are quite pragmatic and winning generally tends to come first so easily willing to change principles to do so.  In some ways, British Tories are more like Canadian Liberals, not in ideology but in terms of willingness to bend to electorate while Canadian Tories more like Labour in being quite stubborn and unwilling to move beyond base except in limited occasions.
