A general election may still be a long way away but Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appears to be laying out the Conservative attack lines, focusing on so-called “wedge issues” that could divide the Labour Party.

Labour are sitting 17 points ahead in the polls but are facing criticism for seeming to roll back on green policies.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Andrew Fisher, former Labour director of policy under Jeremy Corbyn, and John McTernan, former political secretary to Tony Blair, to discuss the different approaches Labour could take. Plus, Sky’s chief political correspondent Jon Craig looks back to the last time Labour seemed to be on the brink of a landslide victory.
