Happy #Fingerpostfriday to all. This one is from Sulzano (BS) 🇮🇹 @twigsinhair.bsky.social

'Labour won being cautious - but Brits are impatient for radical change' - LabourList Labour's manifesto promised change. But Brits aren't seeing it and are losing faith that Labour can deliver says Ipsos UK's Keiran Pedley.

New from me for @labourlist.bsky.social on how @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social polling shows Labour need to speak more for those that want radical change to win again.

50% of Brits want radical change but just 4% of this group trust Labour to deliver it
