UK Director Luke Tryl shares thoughts on public perceptions of the Labour Party.

"I cannot tell you how often in focus groups people will tell me some version of ‘I’m done with the Tories, I want someone new, but I don’t know what Keir Starmer and Labour stand for other than not being the Conservatives’. That sentiment is borne out in polling too: three in five Britons say they don’t know what Keir Starmer stands for and the same amount think he represents ‘more of the same’."

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.
