A lot to be encouraged by in this thread for Labour, but they'll have to convince the public that Keir Starmer would be 'a good prime minister' to make gains
NEW from @IpsosUK: Public think a Labour govt led by Starmer more likely than a Con govt led by Truss to deliver in 12 / 13 areas.
Biggest leads for Starmer's Labour on improving public services (+13), reducing NHS waiting times (+12), levelling up (+12), fresh start (+10)
