For the UK, worst net government satisfaction with Ipsos has been
Starmer -71
Sunak -74
Truss -69 (probably lower had there been time for more polls)
Johnson -67
May -77
Cameron -45
Brown -62
Blair -45
Major -78
Thatcher -63
Starmer's normal for post-Brexit UK, which isn't a really good sign.

Exactly this.
I invite people to specify the allegation of lies.
Ms Reeves might have a given an impression of tax rises. No raised named in her 4 Nov speech. I anticipated rate rises.
But I do not know what she said that was a lie.

Had a look at the "study" the article is based on.
They take a couple with children then assume the couple claim maximum disability benefits for themselves and the kids on top of UC and housing.
They then assume the working couple claim nothing at all....
