Weekly Survey: Labour’s lost working class vote, junior doctors and Welsh Labour

have your say ll (long)

Former welfare minister Frank Field warned this week that Labour’s campaign to remain in the EU would further alienate the party from working class voters – but the CWU has joined several other unions in recommending a vote to stay. Will Labour’s campaign to stay in Europe distance it from its traditional electoral base?

Junior doctors are taking part in the first all-out strike in the history of the NHS. Was Heidi Alexander right to call on Jeremy Hunt to scale back to a pilot the imposition of junior doctor contracts?

The Welsh Labour government this week won praise from charity Crisis for the way it tackles homelessness but it is forecast to lose two seats – falling to 28 – in the Assembly. Should Welsh Labour seek to form a minority government?
