K ,Labour Focus groups will be making Starmer twitch ……. The day of reckoning is coming ( night of the long knives with Starmer holding the blade imho)
A majority of Labour voters back North Sea oil drilling, according to new polling that challenges Ed Miliband’s opposition to expanding domestic production.
The survey, commissioned by Looking for Growth, found 57% of all voters support drilling, compared to 15% opposed.
Among Labour voters, support stands at 51% versus 21% against, with 22% neutral and 5% undecided. Even among Green Party supporters, backing for drilling narrowly outweighs opposition (38% to 33%), while support exceeds 70% among Conservative and Reform voters.
