Is Keir Starmer squandering Labour's poll lead? The i Podcast
-
- Daily News
For over a year, Labour has been riding high in the polls. Keir Starmer’s ruthless crushing of internal dissent, tighter message disciple and a Government in disarray had the party sustaining a more than 20-point lead against the Conservatives.
But recently, that lead has begun to tail off, and with it, the dreams of the party winning a huge majority in the next general election. The party’s lead has dropped to around 14 per cent – with some pollsters predicting a hung parliament if an election was held now.
In this week’s episode of The i Podcast we are taking a look at why that is – and how Labour is coming out swinging in response. Host Molly Blackall is joined by i chief political commentator, Paul Waugh, to give us the inside story of the Opposition’s strategy.

We are also talking to pollsters about what voters are telling them and why the shifting political map of Britain has major implications for Westminster.
Produced by Julia Webster. The executive producer is Albert Evans and the assistant producer is Phoebe Fleming.
