Weekly survey: Poll ratings, May's u-turn and doing deals with the Tories

With the gap between Labour and the Tories narrowing in polls published over the weekend, we ask will Labour make further gains in support before June 8?

Last week the Tories launched an unpopular dementia tax policy which Theresa May performed a u-turn on just four days later. We ask, can Labour win a majority of pensioner votes after the PM’s latest climbdown?

After Scottish Labour suspended nine councillors for agreeing a power-sharing deal with Tories in Aberdeen, we ask should Labour bring in a formal ban on coalitions in local government with the Tories?

To respond to the survey click here. You can vote until midday Friday.
