Labour’s lead over the Tories has shrunk to 14 points — 44 vs. 30 percent — according to a More in Common poll shared with Playbook. It’s the narrowest lead the think tank has recorded since July last year...The think tank’s U.K. Director Luke Tryl said: “For Labour to win a majority next year, they need to convince the country they’ve got a plan, and fast.”

Labour’s poll lead has narrowed to just 14 points up on the Conservatives – with just three weeks to go until voters cast their ballots in local elections.
Pollsters at think tank More in Common (MiC) found the Conservatives were on 30 per cent with Labour on 44 per cent, the narrowest lead recorded by MiC since July last year.

More in Common’s Luke Tryl tells the Guardian that the risk is “Starmer leads ahead of Sunak on whether he would ‘be a fresh start’ after an election. But voters do not like the fact that he always attacks and says nothing about what he’d do."

A report from More In Common published earlier this year found that nearly seven in ten people believe that the police have given up on trying to solve minor crimes altogether. This polling, paired with Public First’s discovery that 41 per cent of people believe that the police are more interested in “being woke” than solving crime, reflects a dangerous trend.

Experts have suggested this could pose a problem for Labour, if they are keen to continue presenting their party as different from the Conservatives. Luke Tryl, UK director of More in Common, believes the advert about Sunak and child abuse will cut through to the public like Boris Johnson’s slurs against Starmer on Jimmy Savile did last year. But he suggests attacks like the crime campaign could reinforce the negative stereotype that Starmer will be a politician just like the rest, without fresh ideas. “Starmer leads ahead of Sunak on whether he would ‘be a fresh start’ after an election. But voters do not like the fact that he always attacks and says nothing about what he’d do,” he said.
