Summary
The focus group is back, with swing voters from around England giving us their unvarnished view of politics. It's bad for Rishi Sunak, with even former Tory supporters sounding more negative (one calls him a 'weasel'). But they're still not sure Labour would do a better job, and think Keir Starmer is 'duplicitous'. Matt is joined by James Johnson from JL Partners to discuss the results.
Plus: Columnists Manveen Rana and Matthew Bell discuss Britain's role on the global stage ahead of the G20 in India, whether Brits are more workshy than the French, and what would you put in the Museum of Political Fiascos?
