Summary
Matt discusses exclusive YouGov polling examining the reasons why 2019 Conservative voters are switching to Labour. Are they really embracing Keir Starmer's party, or just temporarily repelled by the Tories?
Plus: Columnists Daniel Finkelstein and Henry Zeffman discuss speculation about a hung parliament, how Labour should handle questions about forming a coalition, and whether the police were too heavy-handed at the Coronation.
