Documents reveal that Labour will change its strategy on polling day by not knocking on the doors of reliable supporters, a shift from previous years. Instead, the party will focus on 'squeeze' voters, including those likely to back smaller parties like Green or Reform. Voter archetypes such as 'Whitby Woman' and 'Stevenage Woman' are crucial in determining the election outcome, with parties targeting specific demographics.
