The cost of living crisis continues to be the top concern for Britain’s voters, a new poll has found. Pollsters at More in Common (MiC) found 75 per cent of those surveyed cited the cost of living crisis as their number one priority that the government should address.
More in Common UK director Luke Tryll said: “With the months ticking down to the next general election, the government needs the public to start believing things are getting better. But as things stand only one in four Brits think the cost of living crisis will end this year or next.”

Here’s something to give Sunak a little cheer: new polling by More in Common puts the Conservatives up 1 on 31 percent, with Labour down 2 on 42 percent. Apparently confirming that local election Lib Dem surge, Ed Davy’s party is up 3 points on 13 percent. More in Common’s Luke Tryl said: “After a tricky few weeks this poll will bring some relief to the Conservatives. But we remain very clearly in Labour landslide territory.”

But the ability of the Greens to attract votes from urban radicals and rural conservatives alike has only been made possible by the fact that environmental issues are increasingly mainstream.
Luke Tryl, UK director of More in Common and a former Tory special adviser, says: “A consensus on climate runs across all social segments. It doesn’t mean that they all love Extinction Rebellion — but when it comes to the need to take action on climate, it is really striking the extent to which they agree, and they will approach it from slightly different angles.” For rural Tories, he says, the focus is often the natural environment.
