A whopping one third of Labour voters regret voting for Labour in 2024, according to a Survanta poll for the Institute of Research and Reforms International. Almost as grim a number as those in Reeves’ red box…
Out of 2,297 adults surveyed over the weekend, 20% of voters regretted their General Election choice, while 35% of Labour voters regretted theirs. Just 13% of Tory voters and 4% of Reform voters say they made the wrong choice at the ballot box…
Unsurprisingly, 58% of Labour voters say budget discussions have been handled badly, compared with just 31% who say they’ve been handled well. No10 will be bracing for even worse numbers after tomorrow…
Shadow national security minister Alicia Kearns told Times Radio she would have put a precondition on a China trip if she were PM:
“I would have put a precondition that I was not going to go if I was prime minister, unless Jimmy Lai was coming home with me. I would also put a precondition in the six months leading up to the visit that I wanted a reduction in hostile acts against our country. But that’s not what we saw. And actually, in contrast, what we saw was clearly the Chinese Communist Party did put a precondition, which was that the new embassy in London had to be signed off. So why is it okay for China to set preconditions and to make very clear red lines about what they require for a visit, but we go without having put any ourselves?”
