Supporters of all five parties trust broadcast news (TV and radio) more than both traditional press and "new media" (online & social media. Despite all the hand wringing re the right, it is Green supporters who trust broadcast news least (Reform are second). Tories trust it almost as much as Lab/LD

"Seizing Brexit opportunities to deregulate" was mostly unspecified magic fairy pixie bullshit then, and it's not going to get any more realistic in the hands of a bunch of Reform clowns who don't know how anything works, don't care to learn and disdain anyone that might.
