As England’s unlocking coincides with a surge in Covid-19 cases, confidence in the government’s handling of the pandemic has collapsed to the lowest level seen this year.
Pollster Redfield and Wilton asked voters if they thought the government had been taking the right measures to combat Covid-19. In its latest survey, 50 per cent of respondents said the government is making the wrong decisions – the highest number recorded by the pollster since October last year and an increase of eight points in one week.
