Brits have spoken out in a new Mirror poll, and it’s clear they’ve had enough of rising costs, poor access to NHS dentists, and harmful smartphone use in schools. The poll, run by Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now, offers a snapshot of how voters feel about some of the country’s biggest issues — and it’s not looking great for the government.
Let’s start with trade. The poll shows Brits aren’t on board with Donald Trump-style tariffs. Only 16% support slapping higher levies on imports to protect UK industries if it means pricier goods at the checkout. A larger group, 37%, flat-out disagrees with the move, while nearly half either don’t know or don’t have a strong opinion. Labour voters were especially against the idea, likely seeing it as a Trump tactic, while 50% of the public said they want closer ties with the EU — something Reform UK voters aren’t too thrilled about, reported the Mirror.
