Rishi Sunak came under pressure on Thursday to act now to help cash-strapped families as a poll showed Labour stretching its lead as the most trusted party on dealing with the cost-of-living crisis.
The Ipsos survey for the Standard found that 37 per cent of adults in Britain most trust Sir Keir Starmer’s party to reduce their or their family’s cost of living, compared with 22 per cent for the Conservatives. The 15-point gap compares with a nine-point one in March.
