Ahead of Budget, where do voters stand on tax and the dilemmas facing government?
Big new @persuasionuk.bsky.social report out today on this.
TL;DR as risky as breaching the manifesto is for Lab - failing on public services, cost of living and child poverty is *far riskier* for Lab.

The two 'soft ends' of Labour's coalition are Reform curious voters on right, Green curious voters on left.
Looking at their values, they're relatively far apart on culture but united on economics.
Reform curious Lab voters are also notably more left-wing economically than wider Reform vote.

This is a really strong and clearly argued column by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social in the Guardian. Best bit of advice: "Evidence-based policy does work, but you have to own it, explain it and stay the course."
