Nightmare on Downing Street: The mega poll that shows a coalition of chaos is coming

In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by pollster Scarlett Maguire to explore the latest YouGov MRP poll that points to the next general election resulting in a super-hung parliament. They discuss how a coalition between multiple parties could work and explore the idea that the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party could play vital roles in forming the next government.

They also discuss Kemi Badenoch’s plans to block people on benefits from spending their money on alcohol, with Tim suggesting that those who will suffer most from this plan are young people.

Plus: will Andy Burnham’s plans to bring back drinking alcohol in football stands be a vote winner?
