The coast has consistently backed winning causes over the last 40 years - Thatcher, Blair, Leave, Johnson...
Now nearly half (44%) of coastal voters back Labour, while support for the Conservatives has fallen by 20pts since 2019.

Great write up of a new report by our Chief Economist,
@kferriter
, 'Building a New Britain'
The paper, out tomorrow, shows the shocking state of Britain’s economy, but also how new investment in the public realm - across energy, housing & infrastructure - could rebuild Britain.
🚨EXC: Labour should launch its own version of “levelling up” by targeting UK’s sluggish regional productivity, a leading Starmerite think tank has said
Britain's productivity is growing at its slowest pace since the Napoleonic wars

We polled 391 Conservative councillors via
@Savanta_UK
. The results? Not good for the PM.
A quarter (23%) of Sunak's own councillors think that ditching him *before* the May local elections would improve the party's fortunes.
Tory grassroots split over replacing Rishi Sunak before local elections: Four in 10 party councillors say regicide would make result worse on May 2 but almost a quarter say it could help them keep seats

While the data still all points to a Labour victory, a few small shifts in voter behaviour could shrink Labour’s lead significantly. A more dramatic change could wipe out a majority entirely.

1. The share of voters who currently say they “don’t know” how they will vote is large (17%)
2. The strength of the Reform vote feels questionable
3. The support of some of those who have switched to the Labour Party from the Conservatives could still be ‘soft-switchers’

This scenario would see Labour’s lead over the Conservatives reduced to 13pts. Projecting this into seats gives Labour 364 seats and a majority of 78.
