My piece from @UKandEU report out today shows the value positions of voters for Labour and Conservatives in 2017 by the parties they were likely to vote for in June 2019 1/n
Some key points:

The divide between Lab17/Lab and Lab17/LD vs Lab17 and Brexit Party is well known now and a challenge for Labour to unite those voters 2/n
But the Lab17/Con voters are different on both social values (closer to all groups of Con17 voters than Lab17 voters) *and* on economics. This matters because these switchers cost Labour twice (as a loss to them and a gain for Conservatives). 3/n
Conclusion:

'...if the government were to move a little to the left on economics to meet these new voters, the danger for
Labour of diagnosing their fragmentation primarily in terms of the social dimension will be even greater.' 4/n
