Britons believe the UK is seen by the rest of the world as ‘weak’ and ‘soft touch’, top pollster says

Britons believe the UK is viewed as “weak” and a “soft touch” by people abroad, according to a leading pollster who found that just one in four think the UK is seen in a positive light.

The new poll, from More in Common and Save the Children, shared exclusively with The Independent, found that three out of four Britons (75 per cent) say that the UK’s international perception matters.

“Britons are not little Englanders,” said Luke Tryl, director of More In Common. “They care about how our country is seen on the world stage, even if only a quarter think we’re seen positively right now.”

Nightmare for Labour and Tories as new poll shows them left with just 131 MPs between them

New polling has put Nigel Farage's Reform UK on track for a huge majority at the next General Election, with Labour and the Conservative Party's slice of the vote plummeting. A survey of 19,520 people by the think tank More in Common has estimated that Mr Farage's right-wing party would win 373 seats if an election were held tomorrow. The former UKIP leader would become Prime Minister with a majority of 96, more than Boris Johnson's Conservative majority of 80 in 2019.

Keir Starmer brands Nigel Farage’s migration plan ‘RACIST’ as he defends his own handling of border and hotel woes

The survey of almost 20,000 people by think tank More in Common said Reform would win a staggering 373 seats if an election were held tomorrow – handing the Reform UK boss a Commons majority of 96, bigger than Boris Johnson’s 2019 landslide.

Labour would crash to just 90 seats – its worst result since 1931 – with most of the Cabinet, including Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, kicked out.

Floundering Starmer admits he's 'got to do more' as he kicks off crunch Labour conference with another huge poll showing Reform headed for power - and his ratings the worst EVER for a PM

The PM tried to emphasise the 'great things' achieved during the party's first year in power, but insisted people were 'frustrated' and it would 'take time' to 'change the country'.

Sir Keir argued he can 'pull this round' despite another poll showed the party on track for disaster - with Nigel Farage poised to win a huge majority.

In findings that will spread alarm among activists in Liverpool, the More in Common research estimated that Reform would scoop 373 seats if an election were held now. Labour would be reduced to just 90 MPs, from nearly 400 currently.

Starmer officially most unpopular PM ever

Oh dear. It seems that Keir Starmer’s great big conference reset is beginning well. A blizzard of new polls have been published – all of which make for devastating reading for our embattled PM. A major new Sunday Times MRP survey shows that Reform is on course to win 373 seats at the next election, with Labour reduced to just 90. Sub-optimal to say the least…

Poll predicts clear Reform majority and historic Labour defeat

Reform UK is on course to win a majority at the next general election, according to a poll that predicts Labour is heading for its worst electoral defeat since 1931 and will win fewer than 100 seats.

A survey of almost 20,000 people, the biggest seat-by-seat poll carried out in this parliament, says Nigel Farage would become prime minister with 373 MPs if an election were held tomorrow. This would hand Reform a majority of 96, slightly larger than the Conservatives’ 2019 majority of 80 under Boris Johnson.

Conducted by the think tank More in Common between August 8 and September 15, the poll of 19,520 voters is believed to be the first to predict an outright majority for Reform, which at present has only five MPs.
