Focus group: In another barometer of public opinion More in Common’s Luke Tryl has a fascinating write-up of a focus group held yesterday in the South Yorkshire constituency of Rother Valley in the Times this morning. It was with voters who swung strongly behind the Conservatives from Labour in 2019. “As the speech went on, and ever-larger numbers started to flash up on the TV, the questions quickly turned to where all this extra money was going to come from,” Tryl writes.

"We must make every effort to stop giving oxygen to the climate of hate, trolling and threats of violence that is all too familiar to MPs, their staff and families (and indeed to journalists and other public figures). That is vital if public life is to continue attracting people like Sir David and Jo."

11 October 2021

Channel 4 News

"Britain's political system broken, politicians disconnected from the real world... a system where it's one rule for them and another for everyone else. That's the damning verdict of a landmark report looking at how the British public sees the state of British democracy."

"It's disapointing to hear that people think that politicians look down on them. We are all the servants of our constituents." Andrew Mitchell MP.

"This is one of the reasons that I chose to put myself forward to enter politics because I think there's so much that needs to be done around engaging people with politics nationally and locally" Kim Leadbeater, MP.
