Labour’s poll lead is fading and the base is weak – it’s time for Starmer to roll the dice
The PM can at least take comfort from the fact that the Tories are struggling just as much as he is

Always nice to see more uses of Pollbase data out in the wild, this time with

. Although, darnation, this always feeds further the addiction to spending too much time adding in extra poll data from the 1950s and 1960s...
