Labour needs big ideas to win voters back, report warns

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The report - based on discussions with 60 switchers from different parts of the country, of different ages, backgrounds and views on Brexit - comes amid renewed anxiety in the party over its failure to make inroads into the Conservatives' lead in the polls, despite the succession of crises that have engulfed the government in recent months.
48% : The report, while praising Keir Starmer's recent party conference speech, found that among those ex-Labour backers who had switched to Boris Johnson in 2019, the Conservatives were now seen to have "a record of delivery" on issues such as Brexit, the furlough scheme, vaccinations and running the economy since 2010.
45% : Those questioned by Renaissance said Labour needed to be clearer about its central messages if it was to get them back, convince them it was a party of working people and good jobs, that it could manage the public finances sensibly, and that it had a positive story to tell about the future of Britain after Brexit.
