A lesson and a wake-up call from Rochdale: Labour has become too complacent about its big poll lead

Updated polling carried out in January, also from More in Common, has now confirmed that little has changed. A very large majority still refuse to side with one side at the expense of the other. They can see more than one viewpoint on the conflict.

These views may seem quite extreme, as the pandemic hardly was a pleasant time for Britain and the world, but they are anything but. Adam and Ali were taking part in a focus group organised by the think tank More In Common, as a follow-up to a jaw-dropping poll they released in December. Asked whether they were happier in lockdown or today, just over a quarter of people – 26% – chose the former, and 58% the latter.

Luke Tryl of the More in Common think tank, which regularly tests public opinion through polling and focus groups, told HuffPost UK: “What has cut through with the public is the vacillation on the £28bn policy.

“People say Labour can’t seem to make their minds up - we heard it multiple times last week. No one is worried about the cost of it or the policy itself, they just want Labour to make their minds up about it.”

Voters no longer see Rishi Sunak as an asset to the Conservatives, polling has shown.

A survey by the More in Common think tank published on Sunday night showed 26 per cent of respondents agreed with the statement that the Prime Minister was an “asset” to his party, while 43 per cent disagreed.

When asked the same question in October, 37 per cent of people said Mr Sunak was an asset to the Conservatives and 33 per cent said he was not.
