Marf on GE2017 looking a bit more competitive and TMay’s “social care” turnaround
As well as what’s being described as a U-turn over her manifesto pledge on social care there’ve been two new polls during the day all showing LAB making progress.
The one that has shown the biggest move is the YouGov Wales poll for ITV. The figures, if repeated, suggest that LAB’s lead over CON is now greater than it was at GE2015 in the Principality.

The one national poll so far has been ICM which is showing a similar picture of LAB progress but still a long way behind.
ICM sees CON lead down
CON : 47% -1
LAB: 33% +5
LD 9%-1
UKIP: 4%-2— Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) May 22, 2017
The betting markets have been relatively stable.
