Welcome to today’s election briefing. A couple of items today. First is a chart by Dylan that we’ll be updating during the campaign showing average poll movement by different demographics. Second a longer piece by Josh looking in more detail at the efficiency of the Labour vote, following my post on Wednesday.

Coming up tomorrow Dylan will be exploring how voters have moved since 2019. On Monday (unless there’s excitment over the weekend) I’ll be posting about the “weird” seats where unusual factors mean the race won’t go as the models and MRPs predict.
