Also on the podcast, UK Director of think-tank More in Common, Luke Tryl, says that if political marmite figure Nigel Farage returned it could turbocharge Reform's support, with the party posing a threat to both major parties but only with a charismatic figure-head.

The European Court of Justice should have no role in any potential deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol, according to almost three quarters of those questioned in a new poll.
The new poll of those in Great Britain, by More in Common, shows 72% think it is important any negotiation and deal with Brussels over the issues of the protocol remove any oversight from the ECJ.

With Brexit once again dominating Twitter feeds, Channel crossings in the headlines, and all eyes on Nigel Farage, you could be forgiven for thinking we’ve all woken up in 2016. But does the rise in so-called Bre-gret mean that the electorate who only three years ago voted in Boris Johnson on a promise to get Brexit done are now demanding that Britain re-joins the bloc? Our latest research suggests that emboldened Remainers shouldn’t get their hopes up.

The new poll, by More in Common, also shows that although half of Britons believe Brexit was a mistake, less than a third now want to rejoin the EU.
Almost half of Red Wall voters in the More in Common poll said they would be less likely to vote Labour again if he pledged to rejoin the EU.
Labour is 19 points ahead of the Conservatives in More in Common’s poll, with 48 per cent of the electorate, compared with the Tories’ 29 per cent.

“There are very few public figures who are widely seen as unifying and trusted,” said Luke Tryl, the United Kingdom director at the research group More in Common. “It’s generally just people like David Attenborough.” On the eve of the European Championship last year, Tryl said, polling put Southgate in a similar bracket.

Luke Tryl, UK director of the More in Common think tank, has been running focus groups on the cost of living crisis. “A common complaint . . . is that it seems like the rich are always looked after and those on benefits are always looked after,” he says. “But those who are working on a modest wage aren’t and they’re always the ones expected to pick up the bill. They think they go out, work hard, but it’s never enough and they don’t understand why they’re having to tell their kids they can’t have the same Rice Krispies they used to have and are going own-brand instead. These voters just don’t think the settlement is fair for them any more.”
