Commentary on October 2023

Posted 1 November 2023

Labour's lead over the Conservatives widened in October to 19pc, up from 17pc the month before. That would translate into a very large Labour majority if there were an election today. Labour have now enjoyed double-digit leads over the Conservatives for more than a year now.
