A separate poll by More In Common found that most Tory party members back a longer leadership contest - by 67 per cent to 24 per cent.

New polling this week from More in Common shows more than 70% of Labour voters expect things to get better in “the next few years”. Unless there has been a noticeable change in living standards by the end of the government’s second year in office, it will not matter what kind of story it tells.

More in Common’s study was based on polling and focus group research of more than 10,000 people in the week after the election and more than 60 focus groups carried out during and after the election.

The Tories would only have won around 40 more seats at the election if Reform had not stood, according to a huge poll.

Research by More in Common and UCL cast doubt on calls for a merger with Nigel Farage's insurgents, suggesting that voters were turned off by the government's 'incompetence' rather than policies.

Polling for More in Common indicates the number of voters that attribute the 4 July loss to us being too rightwing is the same as those who deemed us too leftwing. An ideological swerve won’t get us back into government. What is more important is to rebuild our shattered reputation for competence and unity of purpose.
