That shutting people away in their homes for weeks on end was going to have a bad effect on mental health was clear from the start of the pandemic, even if the Covid Inquiry doesn’t seem to think it a proper subject to cover the negative consequences of lockdowns. But a poll published this week by the organisation More in Common reveals just how debilitating an effect the pandemic continues to have on a remarkably large section of the population.

"This is just another straw on the proverbial camel's back." More in Common Director Luke Tryl says that the Tory party being 'obsessed with chaos' is the one thing that is likely 'cut through' to the public.

More in Common analysis based on voting intentions shows that the Conservatives are on course to secure 35 fewer seats than if Reform did not exist. If it did not exist, the Tories would win 265 constituencies across England and Wales, almost certainly depriving Labour of a majority and creating a hung parliament.
Luke Tryl, director of More in Common, said Red Wall voters who delivered Boris Johnson’s landslide made up most of Reform’s new support.

As an extensive study this week from pollsters More In Common puts it, more than any other demographic, “young people feel forced to pick a side”. Just as I didn’t really understand sanctions but would never touch Cape granny smiths, so young people overwhelmingly support Palestine. For the leaders and commentators of tomorrow, the past two months since the horrors of 7 October have been formative.

A poll conducted by think tank More in Common has found roughly equal numbers of people find the BBC’s coverage to be pro-Israel as think it is pro-Palestine.
However, even more of the 2,000 people polled said they felt the public broadcaster’s output on the conflict between Israel and Hamas had been mostly neutral.
