Polling by the More in Common think tank found that the government’s failure to tackle illegal migration and Channel crossings is the main reason why 2019 Conservative voters will not vote for the party again at the next general election.

For a start, it’s doubtful that voters are ready to focus on immigration right now. Recent polling from More in Common shows that the cost of living is their top issue by a wide margin, followed by the NHS and then climate change. “Asylum seekers crossing the Channel” is only the fourth-placed issue. What’s more, the Sunak government, with its bizarrely random policy agenda — e.g. compulsory maths, scrapping HS2 and cracking down on pedicabs — has not laid the groundwork for a single-issue snap election

The More In Common poll shatters unguarded claims from Italian PM Giorgia Meloni that the West is growing tired of the war. In fact 60 per cent think Britain should help Ukraine reclaim territory it held before Russia’s siege, with 26 per cent wanting them to claw back land it had before the 2014 Crimea annexation.
Pollster Luke Tryl told the Sun: “Despite so much of the political and media attention focusing on the Israel-Hamas war, Brits haven’t forgotten about Ukraine. They continue to overwhelmingly believe that it matters to Britain that Ukraine wins the war and that we need to stay the course in our support for Ukraine even when it costs us here at home.”

Luke Tryl, UK Director of More in Common said: “While some of the public are keen to put the pandemic and its memories far behind them, a significant chunk are following the inquiry closely and that group are almost five times as likely to say the revelations have worsened rather than improved their opinion of how the government handled the pandemic - a figure that will worry Conservative election strategists heading into an election year.”
