That’s because there’s not a lot to cheer about, according to Luke Tryl - the UK director of More in Common, an independent think tank which regularly polls the public that was set up following the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox.

“Whenever we do focus groups or polling, the dominant mood is exhaustion”, Tryl told me. “Far from rebuilding the 2019 coalition uniting voters in the Red and Blue Walls - largely against Jeremy Corbyn and getting Brexit done - both sides appear to be moving away from the Tories”.

Data collected by More in Common suggests most Britons have a “live-and-let-live approach”, in which they would reject US-style bans on drag and believe trans women are women, and trans men are men.

A survey by the More In Common think tank, carried out between April 6 to 11, found that 46 per cent of people still support the Rwanda scheme. This compared to 28 per cent who oppose it and 27 per cent who said they were apathetic or had not made up their mind.

It also showed almost half (48 per cent) believed the policy would not make a difference to the number of people crossing the Channel in small boats. A further 3 per cent said it would lead to more migrants entering the UK illegally. This compared to only a third (34 per cent) who thought the Rwanda scheme would reduce the number of Channel migrant crossings, while 14 per cent said they did not know whether the plan would work.

What the pundits are sezzin: More in Common U.K. Director Luke Tryl has a good thread, in which he notes that the Conservative results are “more ominous” than last year because the party is running out of options to make their case to voters … pollster Rob Ford argues the coalition Boris Johnson put together for the 2019 general election is dead … and Will Jennings points out that the Tories are losing huge numbers in Brexit areas while Labour picks up support in Leave areas, and that the Tories are making big losses in the south while Labour gains are more consistent.
