YouGov boost for beleaguered Labour
Does this signal that a recovery is on the way? As we wait for the Henley result there’s some goodish polling news for Labour in the June YouGov poll for the Daily Telegraph. So the shares with the changes on the last YouGov poll in the Sunday Times twelve days ago are – CON 46%(-1): LAB 28%(+3): LD 15%(-3) The main move is a 3% fall in the Lib Dem shares and a similar increase in the Labour share.

Voters give Labour’s H&H decision the thumbs down
